A typical dosage could be to take 2 softgels with water every 4 hours for adults and children 12 years or over. Reviewing instructions is especially important if taking daytime or nighttime softgel products. You wouldn’t want to take a sleep aid right before you start your work day!

Most softgel instructions say to drink water with your softgels to help with digestion. Unless your softgel instructions state otherwise, you can also take them with juice.

If you crush, chew, or dissolve a softgel that’s meant to be time-released, it won’t be absorbed into your system properly.
