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
As a dietary supplement, take one capsule one or two times per day with food and water.
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.
