How to Take It
Best taken in the morning
Mildly activating — most people take it earlier in the day. Evidence for cognitive benefit in healthy adults is thin.
With food
ALA does better on an empty stomach, but something else in this bottle needs food. Taking the whole product with a meal is the better trade — an upset stomach is why most people stop.
On the label
As a dietary supplement, take one capsule daily, preferably with a meal or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.
