How to Take It
Take it anytime
Absorbs substantially better fasted — take it about 30 minutes before a meal.
On an empty stomach
On the label
1 to 2 tablets daily at mealtime. For maximum results, include vitamin B complex, magnesium and coenzyme Q10 with alpha-lipoic acid in your nutrition program.*
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.
