There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!

That is a very good question.

No.
No, it's a marketing gimmick. Think about how fast oxygen gets to your cells, that's how fast anything get's around your blood. If a medication take's a while to kick in it's usually because another process needs to happen first, like Tylenol and your liver. The only tiny bit of truth to it is that thin membranes do absorb better, like your stomach, mouth, and butthole.
