Your gums are 2000% more absorbent that your skin!

Permeable Tissue
The gums, are highly vascularized and permeable. This means they have a rich blood supply and allow certain substances to pass through them easily.

Direct Entry
When supplements are applied to the gums, they can bypass the digestive system and enter directly into the bloodstream. This process is known as transmucosal absorption.

Rapid Uptake
The absorption through the gums can be quite rapid, often faster than taking supplements orally. This is because the substances don't have to go through the digestive tract and liver before entering the bloodstream.

Enhanced Absorption
Some supplements may have higher absorption rate when applied through the gums. This means that a greater percentage of the active ingredients can be utilized by the body compared to traditional oral ingestion

The Abbreviated but still very fascinating history of Toothpaste:

Egyptians (around 5000 BC)
The earliest known toothpaste-like substances were created by the Egyptians, who used a mixture of crushed rock salt, mint, and dried iris flowers.
