Sublingal just means you dissolove it under your tongue so it is absorbed into your system faster.

By bone or joint pill do you need are you referring to Calcium. That is the only thing I was directed to take that would be directly related to bones. If that's what you mean the standard most people are told to take is Calcium Citrate 1000-1500mg. Calcium Carbonate needs stomach acid to be absorbed so that is why we need the Citrate form. You can also get the Citrate with Vitamin D which helps our body absorb it better. I originally got a big bottle from GNC but the pills are huge. Now I got Citracal Ultradense coated tablets and they are smaller, more rounded and much easier to swallow. You have to take 3 doses of 2 pills each to get 1200 mg, but we also only absorb 400mg at a time, so you wouldn't want to take anymore.
