Should I take Durable formulas with food or on an empty stomach?Updated a month ago
For most of our formulas, we recommend taking them with food (either right before or right after a meal). The fats, oils, and other nutrients in food can act as a "carrier" and help improve absorption of the active ingredients in the product (this is the case for most supplements). And since supplements have concentrated amounts of the primary ingredients, they can cause nausea when taken on an empty stomach for some people.
This does not apply to every formula, such as Durable Sleep and Durable Probiotic, which we generally recommend taking on an empty stomach. Each formula will have its own specific directions listed above the Supplement Facts on the bottle.
Keep in mind, the most important thing is consistency and taking the product daily on a schedule that works best for you. If that means taking on an empty stomach (and this doesn't cause any GI issues), then you can certainly do this. You may not get optimal absorption of the active compounds, but our products generally have very high levels of the "good stuff" and you will still see great benefits.
