This article describes the effect of a person’s posture on dissolving pills out of stomach (from John Hopkins research):

And for the scientific crazies with PC: aip.scitation.org/doi/full/...

“The researchers found it takes a pill 10 minutes to dissolve on the right side, on average, compared to 23 minutes to dissolve in an upright posture. However, it took over 100 minutes for the pill to dissolve when laying on the left side. Lying straight on the back was tied in absorption time with standing upright.”

This could be very helpful for the situation in which numerous pills and supplements need to be taken on an empty stomach. Thanks. On reading the citations though, they speak of leaning to the right or left at a 45 degree angle, not lying down.
