How is it best to take SUSTAMED capsules: with food or separately? — FitoSila SUSTAMED Badger Fat Capsules, 120 capsules

Badger fat, wheat germ oil and vitamin E are fat-soluble substances. This means the body needs dietary fat to absorb them, which is why supplements like this are usually taken with a meal rather than on an empty stomach.

The best time is a main meal that contains fat: breakfast with eggs or butter, or lunch with a meat or fish dish. Taking the capsules with completely fat-free food or on an empty stomach may reduce the absorption of the fat-soluble components and cause stomach discomfort in some people.

Adults are recommended to take 8 capsules 3 times a day with meals for a course of 1–2 months; the course can be repeated 2–3 times a year.

It is best to take the capsules with plain water at room temperature. Hot drinks can soften the gelatin shell too early, and fizzy drinks can make swallowing uncomfortable.
