How should this formula be taken, and what is it best not to combine it with?

According to the instructions, take 15 ml every morning; this dose should not be exceeded. The general recommendation for mineral formulas is to take them with a meal or straight after one to reduce the likelihood of stomach discomfort.

As for compatibility, a few points are worth noting:

• Vitamin D is part of this formula. If you already take vitamin D separately, the total dose may be excessive — this is worth checking.
• Other mineral formulas with calcium, magnesium or zinc may also duplicate the composition. Taking several such products at the same time without keeping track is inadvisable.
• Calcium can reduce the absorption of certain medicines (for example, tetracycline antibiotics or iron preparations) when taken at the same time. If you take any medicines, check compatibility with a doctor or pharmacist.

Once opened, the bottle is kept in the fridge and used up within a short time. The bottle must be shaken thoroughly before each use — this is stated on the label.
