In order to help reduce the instance of common side effects, consider consuming a lower quantity of powder but more frequently throughout the day. According to Dr Lynch, this is a bit better tolerated than taking the full dose of powder just once a day.

These side-effects are more likely if the recommended dosage is exceeded, if you are taking too high of a dose when first starting, or if taken on an empty stomach. Always take this product with food and in divided doses throughout the day. Dr. Ben Lynch recommends starting with a small dose and only working your way up if needed. He always suggests the Pulse Method as outlined in his book “Dirty Genes”.
