when to take SJW?

[meathead]

ok, should i take the three 300mg capsules spread out through the day?
because i read some people take 2 caps after breakfast, or even all 3 caps before breakfast..
Which one is the best ?

I take 1/4 of a pill at night. Sometimes I might take it throughout a day if I see that I need more. It is your own body so try diferent things until you figure out what works. It will not be pleasurable in that experimentation phase but once you figure it out you'll be just fine

Hiya,

I take mine one in the morning and one at night, I used to take both at night but I find it works a little better this way. Its trial and error I'm afraid and whatever works best for you might not necessarily work for someone else, if your taking three maybe space them out see how you feel. If that doesn't work try a different method, whichever works for you!.

Good luck pixy :freak4:

meathead,

There doesn't seem to be any one right answer. I take mine three times a day ... morning, noon and night. Others take 3 capsules just before bed or just after waking. I personally like to have them spread thru the day.

I'm no expert, but alot depends on your reaction to SJW. Does it make you tired and/or sleepy? Then maybe you want to take it just before bed. Or does it energize you? Then maybe you want to take it thu the day. You can tell from Tru's post that we all react differently.

You'll want to choose a plan, see how you react, and then adjust as needed. Sorry, but there is no one right way to take it.

I take my Perika three times a day: with breakfast, lunch, and after dinner. In this way, I think that it stays in my body in a consistent manner.

Hi Folks-

I used to take one dose each at the start of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and that seemed to work well for a long time. However, a few weeks ago I switched to 1 dose just before breakfast and two doses just before going to bed. This has been working better for me at present. I'm sleeping better this way.

I have also tried taking all three doses before bedtime, but that went badly. SJW seems to help me mostly at night, but I also seem to need that one in the morning as well.

Everyone is different and should try various schedules to see what works best for them.

P.S. The brand I use, because it works best for me, is Planetary Formulas regular SJW Extract 3-a-day tablets (not their 2-a-day full spectrum product). I also take several other supplements and vitamins. I have neurological damage due to past veganism (100% vegetarianism).

I was taking 1 3x aday with meals, then a few days ago decided to try taking 2 with breakfast, and 1 with lunch. This has workde much better for me and I feel more rested in the everning and sleep much better, not as many vivid dreams etc.

But, everyone is individual, and different things will work for different people.

Just out of curiousity, where does everyone get their SJW? I see Amazon has Perika 60 caps for $8 but with shipping it comes to $13. I only am on my first bottle of Solaray and I'd like to switch to something like Perika or Kira which everyone seems to recommend.

Thanks

You might want to try iherb.com which just changed to papanature.com.

[russrimm]

Thanks. I did find also that it was quite inexpensive on vitacost.com compared to amazon and the others I found. Will these recommended brands most likely have more affect than Solaray?

[shy1]

Thanks, I'll check out vitacost.com before my next order.

You might try a search for Solaray (green task bar). You may find some useful insights. Make sure to give it enough time to work (see FAQ), at least 4 weeks. Then if you decide to change there are several choices. You might try another search for brands or dosage to help you find one that you might want to try.

In my short time on this forum I've found that what works for one of us may not work for another. We all react differently to different brands. Take some time to read the posts. Lots of good advice. Lots of choices.

good luck!
