- Take fat-soluble vitamins (D3, K2, Omega-3) with meals that include healthy fats.
- If stacking R-ALA and berberine, space them across meals to avoid stomach discomfort.
- Track your glucose using a CGM or glucometer to personalize and optimize results.
- Hydration matters: drink plenty of water daily to assist metabolic processes.
