Is there a best time of day to take these? With or without food? I know the website says it does't matter, but what have y'all found?

I take mine every morning when I take my vitamins & other pills. Sometimes I have already eaten and sometimes I haven't -doesn't seem to matter. I just try to keep a routine of taking them at the same time every day.

I take it in the morning after I brush my teeth. Makes it a habit. But otherwise, time of day taken doesn't really matter.

I have not found that it matters when I take them. I take them in the morning.

I take this twice a day. Once in the morning and again at 5 pm. I can take it with or with out food. It doesn't bother me like most pills to take it on an empty stomach. I've been taking this for two months now and I love this product!!!

I found it best to take in the morning. I eat breakfast anyways so I can't answer for that much. Times I didn't take with food didn't effect me

Just received this product and directions day to take 2 capsules daily, preferably "with" a meal. So which is it...with, before or after?

I do not limit my dose around food consumption. Since it is sublingual it is processed differently in the body and is not affected by food intake. The benefits, for me, have always been the same regardless of when I take it. And it's so good I notice when I've missed a few days.

I just swallow them and dont taste them. I take half the recommended dose (one pill rather than 2) because I am small (103 lbs). This works for me. I dont like the powder either but folks who drink smoothies seem to think it is good. I prefer taking the Spirulina with my morning drink along with my vitamins. It sits better in the stomach when consumed in conjunction with food.

You dont have to. What you read is probably out dated. They are just aminos. Now if they had caffeine then yes cycle them. In this case you're fine to take them as long as you want. That is if you drink enough water aside from the aminos.

I always took after I ate. From my experience I got major stomach pain and wanted to throw-up when took on empty stomach.Used it for many years and was very helpful. Now I recently switched to a Gaba blend.

It's up to you, what you prefer. They are easier to consume if you soak a tablespoon in water for 3-5 minutes as a drink. But you may also just sprinkle them in your yogurt or smoothie.

I take one in the morning. Sometimes it's a good idea to take one in the evening as well. Even taking 2 at a time would be fine.

let me take a tape to it... its a little less yhen an inch long, simi foot ball shaped, rounded corners. My husband takes them they work for him. I have real bad leg and toe and foot cramps late at night, so I take them a different way. I get 2 bottles of water, to take to work, I drop one pill in each bottle, drink it at work. no tummy troubles. It does not taste bad at all, but then its not like eating a cookie either. I feel having them disolved and drinking it, is better.each tab is 833 so a daily serving is 3 to get the 1250mg. Im small and figure 2 is better then none.

I've heard time and time again that it's the packets. I was thinking of going caplet because I figured they would last longer to make it more intact into the digestive track but the packets work great for me so I'm sticking to them!

I think this should be a question for the manufacturer. It seems too much like medical advice to say whether to take a supplement without it's "sealed container." I have started taking mine every other day because I do notice a 'fishy" burp occasionally. Otherwise I like them. I would look for a smaller pill for your son, even if he has to take more than one to get the necessary amount.

personally I think the drops are way better. I tried first with a bottle of the the pills and I didn't see any results really but the the drops I saw the results even on a week that I wasn't working out. you just have to take the drops right don't drink them put them under your tongue and let them disolve the of all the way. you will know in ages of because you're so ill just be saliva in your mouth once the kind of sweet flavor is gone takes about 3 minutes roughly sometimes more.

Yes, they are rapidly absorbed into your bloodstream and require no digestion. So, it is best if you take them pre/post workout and right when you wake up for maximum results.

I take them all at once. Because of their taste, I take them with some type of soda pop.. sort of kills the taste. Hope these help you as much as they have me! I can finally sleep all night and hadn't before because of the pain. In the beginning, I took 3 in the morning and that was it. Now I take 2 in the morning and 2 in the late evening so they don't wear off during my sleep.

You can eat them dry, but they have a bland taste/flavor. Once they mix with your saliva they will start turning to the "gel" consistency. I prefer to put them in smoothies or yogurt! Either way you will get the benefits!

I take it regularly without food and it hasn't been a problem for me. The directions on the box say, "As a dietary supplement, one table daily." So, it doesn't recommend specifically to take with food.

My experience is to put a bunch in the yellow bag & I take two out the night before breakfast, than they are not cold, stay firm & fresh longer than just putting them in ref. with no bag, we love it.
