Common uses

  • Food-first: mix into smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal, soups, or teas when appropriate.
  • Routine approach: start small for 3'7 days, then adjust based on how you feel.

Typical origins & sourcing

Origins vary by ingredient and supplier. Prioritize:

  • Transparent sourcing: country/region of origin clearly stated
  • Clean label: minimal additives, no unnecessary fillers
