The product information states that capsules are usually taken with meals, since fats are absorbed better when food is present. In practice, that means swallowing the capsule at the start of, during, or right after a normal meal rather than on a completely empty stomach.
Several practical points:
- Swallow the soft gel whole with a glass of water. The capsule is meant to be swallowed, not chewed; chewing releases the oil into your mouth and removes the benefit of the sealed format.
- Attach the capsules to a meal you eat every day, such as breakfast or dinner. A fixed daily anchor makes it much easier to remember.
- If a meal is very light, the capsule may be better taken with a more substantial meal, as fat absorption improves when the meal itself contains some fat.
- Follow the dosage stated on the package; the source does not define one universal dose for all adults.
If you miss a dose, simply skip it and continue as usual at the next scheduled time; taking a double dose has no benefit.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, take blood-thinning medication or have a chronic condition, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.
