Sublingual vs. between gums and lip

[Guest guest]

Sorry, I didn't know what else to put for the title.

Anyway my question is: Is the effect of armour sublingually the same as

taking it between my gums and lip?

The reason I'm asking is because underneath my tongue where I put the

armour is swollen and I'm not sure if the armour is causing it. Today I

decided to move the armour between my gums and lip to see if the

swelling goes down.

I have had no problems using the sublingual method. Maybe someone else will know something. Marcie yvettecvzs wrote: Sorry, I didn't know what else to put for the title.

Yvette,

I actually had a problem this week. I’ve

been taking my Armour sublingually for the last 3 months with no issues until

now. I took my afternoon dose 5 days ago and fell asleep. I woke up 20

minutes later and the pills had not dissolved very much and where they were

became very sore. This happened again yesterday morning. I took my pills and

fell asleep and again the spot was sore. I have taken my other doses

sublingually and had no problem since usually I do not nap or go back to bed.

I think that when I fall asleep I stop making saliva and hence lies the

problem.

I've done that also. Maybe I'm leaving it under my tongue too long.

The swelling is almost gone now, so I'll move the armour back under

my tongue tomorrow.

Yvette,

Buccal (between the check and gums) is just as effective. Some people

choose it over sublingual since the tablet dissolves at a slower rate.
