Best position on the tounge for sublingual absorption?

What exactly is/are the best place/s for absorption of substances under the tongue? I take sublingual B12 pellets on an almost daily basis to try and help wake me up and was wondering this. It would also help me out as an occasional paan masala chewer, that is done a bit more bucally tho.
 
Just put it under the tounge. It'll slide to one side or the other and gradually dissolve, then the solution hopefully gets to where it should (bloodstream).
 
paan masala?? I'm not familiar.

Anyway, anywhere under the tongue is okay. It's not absorbed until it's been dissolved- so the solution moves around anyway.
 
Paan masala is indeed a preparation of betel nut. Typical paan masala contains at least betel nut, catechu (made from the wood of the same tree), a small amount of chuna (CaOH2) and probably menthol and other flavorings such as cardamom. I personally chew Rajnighanda but Paan Parag is ok sometimes too.

Something that I do with it often is I take some of the leaf (the actual paan) and put some chuna (CaOH2) on it and then I put on paan masala and mint leaves.... MMMMM!

So anyways, I know that it enters after it dissolves but there is no way to optimize it based on the positioning? Is there any point in also doing it bucally or only sublingually?
 
Get a syringe and a needle if you feel sublingual is too slow. Maybe you should try crack?








:D
 
Maybe you should try being helpful? Plus I'm pretty sure that injection of paan masala would be pretty nasty (let alone injection in general). Anyways, my answer might be in where the capillaries are the most concentrated. Anyone know that?
 
i tried this the other day the first time with a 5mg perc when i started coming down from earlier, when that lil' sucker hit, it hit hard.

i kept it under the front of my tung and rolled it around a few times but kept it in place for the most part. i also tried to not salivate much either, it was gone after about 5 minutes. i felt it after 15 minutes maybe.

look under your tongue (try a mirror) see those fat blue vein thingies? aim for those.

Thank you. Why look at that, someone knew.
 
yeah but that's hardly neccessary. You put anything under your tongue and as it dissolves it's gonna cover those two veins.

Please, I was the first to answer and gave you a helpful answer - it doesn't matter as long as it's well under the tounge.
