Topic Title: Food and dosage questions
| |  "Food and dosage questions"
, Fri 21 Oct 08:53
I'm new here so I imagine these questions have been asked before but here goes:
Does it make a difference whether or not you take SJW on an empty stomach or with food? I'm mostly concerned about how this affects the efficacy of the herb--I'm not prone to stomach upset so that's not a major concern.
Also, at least one brand of SJW I looked out suggested avoiding taking SJW with dairy or milk. Any thoughts on that? I'm a big milk drinker so this is a concern.
Finally, most brands seem to suggest spacing the dosage throughout the day. I find that it is much easier for me to remember if I take one dosage in the morning. Does that affect the efficacy of the drug? (Again, not being prone to fatigue--I'm not so much concerned about the side effects--just the efficacy.)
Thanks.

As far as I know, the answer to your first two questions is, "it doesn't matter." It's probably better to take it with food, but since I always take it just before I go to bed it never works out for me. Also, I drink a lot of milk too (yum!) and there are no issues with that... other than, people often suggest taking pills with water or juice and not milk, not exactly sure why that is but I doubt it's especially important.
As for when you take it, it seems to be highly dependent on the person and what you're used to. I found I had a little less energy when I tried taking it in the morning (years ago), so I just stuck with taking it before bed.
Cheers,
Kelly
