What has a better absorption rate?
Question:
Answers:
Depends on the compound. Just because it dissolves in your mouth doesn't mean you've successfully taken up the compound. There's always a limiting factor- the thing that most slows absorption, and it's specific to every chemical, so there's no hard and fast rule.
Some things dissolve better and faster through the mouth, such as chemicals that are made up of physically smaller molecules. Larger, more complex molecules, such as fatty acids, are absorbed through the GI, where they can sit a bit and be modified by the local environment (pH, enzymatic action, etc. Some compounds (such as many proteins) require GI uptake to be converted to a usable form by the body.
Hope that helps.
Lazanges are untested, but powders preform 9 times better than pills.
