How to Take It
Take it anytime
Take with meals — its glucose effects act on the food you're eating. Usually split 2–3 times daily.
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
Take 1 capsule per day with a meal or as directed by your health-care practitioner.
General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.
