A member asked:

What form of medication or supplement gets absorbed fastest? i was thinking maybe chewable tablets or liquid gel capsules.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies: It depends upon what medication you are talking about. In general, however, fastest absorption is the sublingual route, where the medication is placed under the tongue. Very few medications, however, are designed to be taken this way. Next fastest are usually the gel caps. Chewables actually have about the same absorption as solid pills. If wondering about a specific medication, ask pharmacist!
