What is the difference between dissolve-in-mouth tablets and oral tablets?
- ) 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
- ) DISSOVLE-IN-MOUTH
- DIM tablets are absorbed in the mucosa of the mouth and enter circulation, essentially bypassing the liver
