How to Take It

Best taken in the morning

Bisglycinate is the gentle form — most people tolerate it on an empty stomach, which is exactly where it absorbs best. Vitamin C may help absorption.

On an empty stomach
Keep it away from coffee, tea and dairy
Space it a couple of hours from Calcium, Zinc, Magnesium, Manganese and Green Tea Leaf Extract

On the label

Recommendations: As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule, 1-3 times daily, with meals.

Labels usually say “with food” because it's gentler on the stomach, not because it absorbs better. Fasted absorbs more — start there, and switch to a light meal if it bothers you.

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

Sources & Scoring

Nutrient data (RDA, UL, and safety thresholds) sourced from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements and the National Academies Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI).

This is not medical advice. Consult a healthcare provider before making changes to your supplement routine.

The score analyzes what's on the label: ingredient doses vs. studied ranges, chemical forms, evidence levels, and known interactions. It does not verify label accuracy or test for contaminants — for that, look for third-party certifications like USP or NSF.
