If you want the biggest bang, go for under the tongue, just a drop or two at first. Try it 2-3x daily until you can manage the taste and then increase the amount as you can tolerate.

Sublingual
Certain drugs are best given beneath the tongue or retained in the cheek pouch and are absorbed from these regions into the local circulation. These vascular areas are ideal for lipid-soluble drugs that would be metabolized in the gut or liver, since the blood vessels in the mouth bypass the liver (do not undergo first pass liver metabolism), and drain directly into the systemic circulation. This route is usually reserved for nitrates and certain hormones.


Only let it absorb for a few minutes, and then wash it down.

Would it be better to take all of the extracts this way, such as white peony root? How can you tell if something is lipid-soluble?
