I was told by a supplier that you have to take Essiac on an empty stomach. Is that true?

That's what is recommended. However, I have taken it with food on my stomach without any problems.

I took 4 per day total, but spread them out. It recommends taking them on an empty stomach too.

Nothing happened to me when taking on an empty stomach, directions shows its best to. The only problem I had with CB1 was my Allergys, yes It made me gain weight GREAT, but I had a sinus infection due to taking CB1.

Yes, I think they are. They say they can be taken on an empty stomach. Just to be safe though I like to have them with food. Take a few bites, swallow them, then finish your food. That way they're coated & they also absorb better nutritionally because your body thinks theyre real food. I really like these multivitamins a lot & have bought them for years now.

shelf life will vary. You may pick up or order an essiac that was from older stock, so I can't give you the shelf life. Its best to go in peson and look at the expiration lables on the product itself. Of course then you can pick one that still has the longest shelf life! I usually get a good 18 months exp date. When I take it I take it for 12 weeks as recommended....take a break for two months and start all over! Essiac is the like the holy grail!!!

Yes it can but it really depends on how it is taken. On an empty stomach half hour away from meals may produced the best results with adequate amounts of filtered water (6-10 ounces).

Besides the ingredients you mention, you also want either potassium or calcium to aid in absorption. This brand contains calcium. You also want at least 50% of the HCA and i belueve this brand is 60%. You should take at least one half hour up to two hours before all meals on an empty stomach. Typical dosage is one to two capsules before each meal. Don't exceed 3000 mg daily without discussing with your doctor.

The directions say do NOT eat anything. I didn't eat anything and I felt like it didn't work. I would suggest not eating.

Except for digestion, the instructions on the jar indicate that it should be taken on an empty stomach. So putting it in any food is not recommended by the maker.

I was taking it in the am empty stomach & didnt do much for me...a reviewer said to get the gel caps...theyre better...the label says 3x a day with meals...

I had no after taste. I always take it before a meal. Some have put these in the freezer and that will also work. This is a great lost product. Two softgels gives the recommended American Heart Association's dose for those without heart disease. Mke sure you get the Natural one and not the enteric. The enteric one is not fish oil despite the label saying "Fish Oil." Pixe

Use this link which says "Yes". http://directionsforme.org/index.php/directions/product/ANTCDLAX/00815066001164. Personally I don't know but I use as directed. My sister and I both take this and we have tried many different products. I always eat what I want but in moderation NOW. I have had IBS for 40 years plus. If I feel an attack coming on I virtually quit eating solids for a day or two to pamper my system and let it rest. Occasionally I still have symptoms but not near as often or severe. Hope this helps.

Hi Barbara, I'm not quite sure. I keep the bottle at home, so I will check this weekend and try to email you back as soon as possible. All I know is I only have to take one capsule a day, and I don't find myself starving and needing to snack at my desk or gorging myself at lunch time or dinner. It's amazing stuff. So, hang tight; I will be back in touch!!!

I don't know which is "better", but I take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. I use it to wash-down the low-dose aspirin tablet which I take at the same time.

I mix it with my dogs food. Looking more closely at the lable it just says to take 10 drops directly in mouth 2 times a day. There is nothing about with food or an empty stomach.

I would take them with at least SOME food, even if a small amount. I only took them with food, it may make you sick to take them on an empty stomach.

I take SAM-e on an empty stomach first thing in the morning with a large glass of water and my other meds. Then I drink regular coffee with creamer and it's effective for me. At first I had constipation, but now I am fine, no side effects whatsoever. I hope i can take this for life!
