The mouth is a faster route than the stomach.
Buccal absorption
Chewing releases actives into saliva, where a share is absorbed directly through the lining of the cheek — bypassing the gut and first-pass metabolism.
Faster onset A capsule must reach the intestine before anything happens. A gum starts releasing in the first minute of chewing — you feel the clove before you finish the chew.
A portable ritual No water, no counting out pills. A blister pack in the pocket turns a supplement into a ten-minute ritual you can keep anywhere — desk, commute, after meals.
