Best Answer

This is due to the tablet already been broken down, so the body doesn't have to process it.

A tablet has to be processed by the stomach, broken down and heated up for it to take effect.

Breaking a tablet up gives it greater surface area, hence it will absorb more quickly than an intact, spherical tablet.
