Dosage

• Adults: Take one to two capsules daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
• Administration: Swallow the capsule whole with a cold drink.
• Food Interaction: Best taken with a meal to maximize absorption of the oil.
• Missed Dose: Take it when you remember, but do not double the dose to catch up.

Storage and Disposal

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight (heat can turn the oil rancid). Keep the bottle tightly closed. Dispose of at a pharmacy if the capsules smell "off" or are past their expiry date.

Quick Tips

• Patience is key: It can take 4–8 weeks of consistent use to see skin or hormonal benefits.
• Skin Hack: Capsules can occasionally be pierced and applied topically to dry skin patches.
• Combine with Vitamin E: If your brand doesn't include it, ensure your diet is rich in Vitamin E to prevent oil oxidation.
• Track your cycle: Use a period tracker to see how the supplement affects your PMS symptoms over time.
