Quick answer: Start low, go slow, stay consistent. Begin with a small portion of a scoop, take it with food and a cool drink, swallow the pellets whole, and increase gradually over days or weeks as tolerated. The label allows up to 3 full scoops (9,000 mg) a day; a full blue scoop is about 3,000 mg.
The basics from the label
- A full blue scoop (about 1 teaspoon) is about 3,000 mg of monolaurin.
- The label allows up to 3 scoops a day (9,000 mg).
- Swallow the pellets whole with a cool or room-temperature drink. Do not chew them.
- The 8 oz jar holds about 75 full-scoop servings.
A simple start-low plan
| Stage | What it looks like |
|---|---|
| Getting started | A small portion of a scoop once a day with a meal |
| Building up | Increase a little at a time every several days if you feel fine |
| Your routine | The amount that works for you, up to the label maximum of 3 scoops a day |
There is no prize for getting to the maximum. Many people settle on less.
