Using natural products safely and effectively requires understanding their purpose, format, and recommended serving instructions. Below is a general guide that applies to most herbal or nutritional products.
Each product includes suggested use and serving size. These instructions are developed according to the concentration of the ingredients and the intended purpose of the product.
If you are using a new supplement or herbal extract, it may be helpful to begin with the lowest suggested amount and observe how your body responds.
Natural products typically support wellbeing when used consistently over time, always following recommended guidelines.
Keep supplements in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their quality.
If you take medications, have a medical condition, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, a healthcare provider can help determine whether a product is appropriate for you.
Beyond basic instructions, it can be helpful for users to track how their body responds to a product over time. Keeping notes about consistency, frequency, and personal observations may provide valuable insights that support more mindful use. This approach encourages individuals to pay attention to their routines, helping them adjust usage as needed while following official guidelines and professional advice.
