Foods do get \u201cdissolved,\u201d but slowly and efficiently and without nearly the same cinematic splendor as the T-1000.<\/p>\n<p>Partially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.t-nation.com\/lean-built-eating\/you-are-what-you-absorb\/\">dissolved foods<\/a> are then methodically ejected through the pylorus \u2013 the valve at the bottom of the stomach\u2013 into the duodenum, where the nutrients start to be absorbed.<\/p>\n<p>This process isn\u2019t quite the same for pills, tablets, or capsules, though. Normally, the speed at which an encapsulated drug or supplement gets dissolved and put to work depends heavily on gastric motility (how much churning your stomach does), the physical properties of the pill or capsule, and how much food is already being processed by the stomach.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s something else that determines how fast a pill or supplement goes to work, too, and it\u2019s something you have total control over.<\/p>\n<p>Ordinarily, the speed at which a swallowed pill goes to work isn\u2019t a big deal, but what if you\u2019re taking a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.t-nation.com\/alpha-life\/tip-this-common-pain-pill-attacks-the-testicles\/\">pain pill<\/a> and you want it to kick in pronto, instead of an agonizing hour or two from now? What if you want a sleeping pill to take effect right away, instead of at 3 AM when the \u201cKing of Queens\u201d reruns start?<\/p>\n<p>It can be done, and it\u2019s incredibly simple.<\/p>\n<p>  10 Minutes, 23 Minutes, Or 100 Minutes <\/p>\n<p>Food \u2013 assuming you\u2019re not a boa constrictor, python, or Joey Chestnut \u2013 is first chewed, then masticated and swallowed, whereupon it\u2019s slowly transformed into chyme, a mixture of pulpy acidic fluid and food. It\u2019s of course not the same for pills, tablets, or capsules. They drop down into the stomach like rocks dropped off the dock at Lake Okeechobee and sink to wherever gravity pulls them.<\/p>\n<p>If, hypothetically, you\u2019re leaning to the right, pills would \u201cland\u201d near the pylorus, which is on the right side of your asymmetrically shaped stomach. As such, they\u2019d be absorbed and put to work rather quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Alternately, if you\u2019re leaning to the left, they would land on the opposite side of the stomach, which, in gastric terms, is miles away from the pylorus. In that case, drugs or supplements may take a long, long time to take effect.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re probably thinking, \u201cOkay, fine, but who the hell leans one way or the other when taking<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Easy Way to Make Them Kick in Faster New research shows that two things dramatically affect how quickly pain pills, sleep aids, and other supplements go to work.
