What We Like

  • Full standardization of marker compounds
  • Non-GMO ingredients and vegan capsules
  • Well tolerated even when taken on an empty stomach
  • Practical 60-day supply

What We’re Missing

  • No open access to batch certificates
  • Only one dosing option — no 250 mg variant for sensitive users

Usage Recommendation

1 capsule in the morning before breakfast. Under high stress, a second capsule before early afternoon; do not take late in the evening.
