How do I correctly take Validol tablets? Why do I have to dissolve them under the tongue? — Validol food supplement with sweetener, N10-FARMAKOM

This product is designed as a sublingual tablet, meaning you should place it under your tongue and let it dissolve slowly there. This method is chosen because it allows the active components to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes in your mouth, which some people find provides a faster onset of the mild, familiar soothing sensation associated with menthyl isovalerate. Keeping it under the tongue also means you'll experience the refreshing, cooling taste of menthol as it dissolves, which is part of the product's character. Swallowing the tablet whole with water would bypass this mechanism, as the stomach acid could alter the ingredients, and you would likely miss the intended experience. The tablet is small and thin, so it should dissolve completely within a few minutes; avoid chewing or crunching it.
