Taking Sugar Defender Pro Drops Under the Tongue

By the Sugar Defender Pro Guide team · Updated · 3 min read

Short answer

Sugar Defender Pro is a tincture meant to be held under the tongue for about 30 seconds before swallowing, which the makers say maximizes absorption. It also lets gymnema reach your sweet taste receptors. If the taste is too strong, you can dissolve the drops in a glass of water instead.

Key takeaways

  • Hold under the tongue for 30 seconds.
  • The makers say this maximizes absorption.
  • Gymnema reaches the taste receptors.
  • Water option if the taste is strong.

How sublingual drops work

The area under the tongue is thin and rich in small blood vessels, which is why some medicines are given this way. Supplement makers use tinctures for the same reason, and because liquids are easy for people who dislike pills.

The 30-second method

  1. Fill the dropper.
  2. Lift your tongue and release the drops underneath.
  3. Hold for 30 seconds without swallowing.
  4. Swallow, then have breakfast.

A bonus for cravings

Gymnema's gymnemic acids briefly block sweet taste receptors on the tongue. Holding the drops in your mouth gives gymnema that contact, so sweets may taste less exciting for a while. See gymnema.
