Q

What is the difference between dissolve-in-mouth tablets and oral tablets?

A
  1. ) ORAL:
    - Oral go through the digestive tract and then immediately are transported to the liver where the DHEA becomes sulfated (DHEA-S)
  • DHEA-S is removed more slowly from circulation and more closely replicates the natural DHEA balance in the body.
  • This is why Life Extension is a proponent of oral DHEA
  1. ) DISSOVLE-IN-MOUTH
    - DIM tablets are absorbed in the mucosa of the mouth and enter circulation, essentially bypassing the liver
