'Natural' is a regulatory definition (21 CFR §101.22), not a safety guarantee.

How to Take It

Best taken in the morning

Many people prefer it earlier in the day; there's no evidence timing changes anything. Absorption is fine with or without food.

With or without food

On the label

As a dietary supplement, place one lozenge under the tongue daily. Allow it to remain there until completely dissolved before swallowing.

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