How do tablets to dissolve in the mouth differ from ordinary tablets, and does it matter? — Glycine forte tablets 500mg N60 – Evalar

Evalar Glycine Forte comes in the form of tablets to dissolve in the mouth — this means you do not need to wash the tablet down with water: you keep it under your tongue or in your cheek until it has fully dissolved. When taken this way, the active substances start to be absorbed through the lining of the mouth, bypassing part of the route through the gastrointestinal tract.

For glycine this makes particular sense: the amino acid is highly soluble and passes easily through mucous membranes. That is why sublingual and buccal formats are traditionally used in glycine-based medicines and supplements — they are considered convenient and practical.

In practical terms, this means several things:

• You can take a tablet anywhere — at work, on public transport, before bed — without a glass of water.
• It is important not to chew it or swallow it whole: the tablet is meant to dissolve, otherwise the point of the format is lost.
• The speed at which it dissolves may vary slightly from person to person — this is normal.

The vitamins B1, B6 and B12 in the formula also enter the body together with glycine as the tablet dissolves. This makes the format coherent: all the components work within a single way of taking it.
