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

Poorly absorbed on its own — take with a fatty meal, ideally in a formulation with black pepper or a lipid carrier.

With a meal containing fat

On the label

As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule, 1-3 times daily, between meals.

The label says to take it on an empty stomach, but what's in this absorbs poorly without dietary fat. Take it with a meal that has some.

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