I try to do my extract that way, but the best I've been able to do is try to let it sit there and resist the urge to swallow for as long as possible. Of course going that route you don't have to use nearly as much. Depending on what it is, it can be 3-4x more potent, that is if what you're taking sublingually is a good candidate for absorption via that method.
Lotus has done an outstanding job at explaining that.
Considering the alcohol content, sublingual is gonna be hard to do. And, if you do try it, the stinging you'll get might be hard to bear. Take a look at this, in liquid extract its getting released in a fraction of the time compared to capsules.
Thanks Spoked451,

Q-How long does a capsule take to dissolve?
A-Typically the average is up to 20 minutes, some sources have at 5-10 minutes while others say 20-30 minutes. Extracts 1 to 4 minutes
Q-What are typical absorption results?
A-For skin application- 60%
A-Liquid- 98%
A-capsule- 10-20%
Q-What is the capsule to extract ratio?
A-20 to 1, meaning it would take 20 capsules to = 1 teaspoon of extract
Q-When is the best time to take an herb?
A-In general herbs are best taken on an empty stomach

Hmm, so in the long run, its better to try and get the liquid extracts. Not only may it work out less expensive, it will increase the absorbon rate of what we are taking.
Hi Janet,
I'd go with PM extract, the breast spray is merely an add-on to the capsules. As I suggested to Erin, sublingual seems to be the one of the more effective delivery options for PM extract. (short of intravenous).
