Do you take this with food, or on an empty stomach? before meals? When?

I take it regularly without food and it hasn't been a problem for me. The directions on the box say, "As a dietary supplement, one table daily." So, it doesn't recommend specifically to take with food.

Obviously I'm not a doctor, but this supplement didn't cause the same upset stomach issues that a lot of other supplements have caused for me (and this one is really high with elemental iron). I take it in the morning with a glass of juice that's high in vitamin C (if I have any), but the supplement has vitamin C in it already so that isn't really necessary for me to do. I generally eat breakfast around the same time I take it. I love this supplement- no upset stomach and it really helped my iron levels.

You can take it when ever and with food worked best for absorption with me. This is great iron supplement but if you have allergies to wheat or gluten I wouldnt take it.

As I understand it, it's more effective on an empty stomach 30 to 60 min prior to each meal. It should still work, but with a diminished effect.

In my experience, I was eating three meals a day and two snacks before taking the coffee bean extract. I would eat at the same times everyday to help with my metabolism and was losing weight. I would recommend eating at least the three meals each day while taking it. That being said, it does not indicate that it is necessary or not to eat while taking it. The directions simply read "take one capsule 3 times daily 30 min before meals..." but they do not say whether it is necessary. Hope this helps.

You can take it before or after meals to help with the digestion instructions are on the label.

I take it both times. One tablespoon in the am and one in the pm. You can also mix it with milk in the am and vanilla ice cream in the pm for dessert. Its really quite good as a topping.

Since it blocks carbs, I take 1 pill before any meal that has carbs (bread, spagetti, rice, potatoes, sweets, etc.) It MUST be taken about 20 minutes before, so I always have a small pill box with me.

No idea, I have not taken it with food and haven't had any problem. My eye doctor just said to take it the same time every day.

I take mine every morning when I take my vitamins & other pills. Sometimes I have already eaten and sometimes I haven't -doesn't seem to matter. I just try to keep a routine of taking them at the same time every day.

Here is label info:"Suggested usage: Take 2 capsules 30 minutes prior to meal with 8 ounces of water. Ideally taken before breakfast and lunch"You'll have to do the math. There are 60 capsules in my bottle, the photo attached to your question looks different than mine.

Before a meal, about 10 to fifteen minutes, with water. You are going to need that time to get the vile taste out of your mouth. It is really pungent and awful. You could take it after but you might taste your meal again.

I usually take it just before I go to the Gym in the morning. I find that I can exercise longer without getting to exhausted.As it gives you a feeling of wellness to take it toward bedtime should be ok especially if you have had a long day.I recommend taking in the morning to see what effect it has on you.

I personally use them both ways. Mainly I use the Pure Bar as a meal replacement. I eat them in the morning and it sustains my appetite until lunch.

(disclaimer: I work for www.trustednutrients.com) Everyone is different, but the suggested usage, for optimal results, is to take one capsule, 30 minutes to an hour before meals, with a tall glass of water (8 oz) on an empty stomach.

They don't really tell you. The bottle just says to take one daily. I take mine before my meals and I haven't noticied any upset stomach or any side effects with taking it on a empty stomach.

Well I take this after my morning workout so it recharges me, plus I have no hunger til lunch. It has enough protein to suffice. I also use it as a snack in the afternoon before I head for something less desire able and it wards off that hunger. You can't beat the low calories.

Do you open them up and put on your food? Since you have a hard time swallowing pills you should open them and dissolve it in water. I never did that but you can try it. If anything you should take it 30-60 minutes before eating. Serve yourself more than usual and eat it all even if you feel full.
