Advice & Tips:
2 pills daily but the second pill before 2pm. 2pm is inconvenient and easy to miss. I either take both at breakfast or the second at noon but I have forgotten altogether and taken the second at as late as 9pm. I have 0 side effects (like insomnia) but then I've seen NO reduction in fatigue either.
