A buccal troche is a small lozenge that dissolves between your upper cheek and gums.
Swallowing supplements and drugs means they journey through your stomach and intestine, getting absorbed by the gut lining and later processed by the liver—a phenomenon known as first-pass metabolism. This route? It's not always quick, often taking anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
But with buccal troches, ingredients are delivered straight into your bloodstream via the cheek, skipping first-pass metabolism. The result? A rapid onset within 15 to 30 minutes, ensuring the ingredients maintain their strength.
And here's the cherry on top: given the cheek's proximity to the brain, troche ingredients make a swift dash there. Perfect for nootropics that light up your brain and equally useful for troches that offer relaxation, pain relief, sleep support, and more!
