Take three capsules once a day for a meal. If you divide them into one capsule at a time, the content is too small, which is useless! ~ ~ There is no difference before and after meals, just a matter of absorption. Eating before meals is equivalent to eating on an empty stomach, and the absorption effect of crab shell element will be better. To put it bluntly, for example, one is to put a rag on the table before pouring water on it, and the other is to pour water on the table and wipe it with a rag. Almost. I've eaten both of them, and I feel almost the same. From the price point of view, DHC is the best choice. It is best to eat it half an hour before meals, and when your stomach is bad. It's best to take 1-3 times a day, 2 hours apart from other drugs (it depends on how much meat you eat, anyway, you eat 1 time, just when you eat the most meat). I don't think you can lose fat by crab shell elements alone. You can only maintain your body shape at most (you will get fat if you eat too much). It's best to go with 1-2 fat burning stuff. Each crab shell element containing 1000MG can absorb 500 calories (this 1000MG is pure crab shell element and is completely absorbed by human body. Everyone's physique is different, and the absorption situation is also different. Generally, it is impossible to completely absorb 1000MG. ) Go and see the contents of DHC and FANCL by yourself. I remember that the recommended dosage per meal is only about 300-500MG of crab shell element. You can calculate how much oil you can absorb ~ ~
