Hypoallergenic Plant FiberFiller

Plant-derived cellulose fiber used as a hypoallergenic filler, common in Thorne and Pure Encapsulations products

Capsule ShellCapsule

Generic capsule shell where the label does not specify the material. Common materials are hypromellose (HPMC) for vegetarian capsules and gelatin for traditional capsules — both are GRAS-listed and safe. Fish gelatin and pullulan variants also exist.

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

On the label

As a dietary supplement, take 2 capsules, 1-3 times daily, just before meals, with 6-8 oz water.

The label says to take it on an empty stomach. What's in this one sits better with food, and you give up little by taking it that way.

General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.
