I try to do my extract that way, but the best I've been able to do is try to let it sit there and resist the urge to swallow for as long as possible. Of course going that route you don't have to use nearly as much. Depending on what it is, it can be 3-4x more potent, that is if what you're taking sublingually is a good candidate for absorption via that method.

Lotus has done an outstanding job at explaining that.

Considering the alcohol content, sublingual is gonna be hard to do. And, if you do try it, the stinging you'll get might be hard to bear. Take a look at this, in liquid extract its getting released in a fraction of the time compared to capsules.

Thanks Spoked451,
