Slow is the whole instruction
Most supplements reward consistency. This one rewards restraint. The sensible way to take apricot-kernel B17 is to start at 1 capsule a day with food and stay there, moving up only gradually over days or weeks, and only if you have a reason to. For most people a modest 1 to 2 capsules daily is where it sits. There is no benefit to going faster.
What it is
Listen to your body, and stop if it tells you to
Dizziness, headache or an upset stomach are the signs that you have taken too much too fast. If any of those turn up, reduce the amount or stop. If you take any medication, manage a health condition, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not start this without speaking to your healthcare practitioner. Keep it out of reach of children. If any of that gives you pause, that is a reasonable response, and Anita can point you to something else in the range.
This is not a product to start on a hunch. Anita, the natural-health practitioner behind Guiding Truth in Nelspruit, knows the whole range and would rather talk it through with you first. Send her a message and a real person, not a call centre, will help you work out whether this is right for you or whether something else fits better. She does not diagnose or prescribe, so for anything medical she will always point you to your doctor first.
