How do you take your liquid LDN? Sublingual (under the tongue) vs. swallowing immediately?
Hi everyone,
I recently started my LDN journey and got my first batch from a compounding pharmacy. It’s a liquid formulation (custom recipe, 1.5 mg/ml).
I've been doing some research online, and I read that due to the first-pass metabolism and potential bioavailability issues, it might make sense not to swallow it right away. Instead, some sources suggest holding the liquid under the tongue or in the mouth for about 30 to 60 seconds (sublingual absorption) before swallowing.
I’m curious about your experiences:
How do you take your liquid LDN? Do you hold it in your mouth, or just swallow it immediately?
If you switched from swallowing to sublingual (or vice versa), did you notice a difference in effectiveness or side effects?
Did your doctor or pharmacist give you any specific instructions regarding this?
Would love to hear how you all manage your daily dose! Thanks in advance.
