How to Take It
Take it anytime
Black Pepper Extract is easier on the stomach taken with food.
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 daily, preferably with a meal. Store in a cool, dry place after opening.
General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.
