When to Take
| Time | Recommendation | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Morning (7–9 AM) | First dose, 30 min before breakfast | Best absorption on empty stomach, energy for the day |
| Afternoon (12–2 PM) | Second dose, 30 min before lunch | Maintaining blood levels |
| Evening (after 4 PM) | NOT recommended | Tonic effect may interfere with sleep |
| During meals | Acceptable but not ideal | Food slows absorption by 20–30% |
What to Combine With (and What Not To)
| Combination | Verdict | Note |
|---|---|---|
| + Vitamin D | Recommended | Enhances calcium absorption from antler |
| + Omega-3 | Recommended | Complementary anti-inflammatory effect |
| + Collagen | Acceptable | Antler already contains collagen but extra is OK |
| + Ginseng | Acceptable | Enhanced adaptogenic effect |
| + Iron supplements | Caution | Risk of excess iron (antler already contains heme iron) |
| + Anticoagulants | Not recommended | Antler affects platelet function — consult doctor |
| + Alcohol | Not recommended | Reduces absorption and effectiveness |
Optimal Annual Schedule
- Course 1 (September–October) — preparation for cold season, immune support
- Course 2 (January–February) — mid-winter support, combating winter fatigue
- Course 3 (April–May) — spring recovery, post-winter revitalization
- Course 4 (as needed) — during intense physical/mental stress
The most common mistake is irregular intake. Antler products have a cumulative effect: skipping days reduces effectiveness. If you started a course — complete it fully. Better to do 3 full 30-day courses per year than 6 interrupted ones.
Start your course with Miles Bio antler products.
