I get a lot of questions about when and how to take specific supplements, so today I want to offer a few simple guidelines.

If the supplement is fat-based, like fish oil or Toco Q, it should be taken with food whenever possible to improve absorption.

Other supplements like our Brain Force One or Young Life Daily can be taken without food.

One caveat. If the doses are large, say 6 capsules at once, you may want to take them with food to ease any stomach effects.

Now people also ask, “What if I forget to take it with food?” Well, I do sometimes too, and here is a simple workaround, especially with the fish oil: chew the gelatin caps, swallow the oil, and spit out the capsule shells. A bit uncouth maybe, but effective.

That is it for today. By the time you read this I will be at Stem Cell Central treating the next batch of patients and reviewing the latest developments. I have been working on a more powerful telomerase activator that is now in final testing. It will be able to be taken with the Immortality Edge Packs or on its own.
