Re: Encapsulated Cat's Claw -- Is it more effective on an empty stomach?

[Guest guest]

I take it with lemon water before eating.

It's going to upset your stomach for at least a week or so when you're starting

out.

So go extremely slow.

I'm on 3 capsules/day and will probably stay on this for 2-3 weeks until my gut

has adjusted.

tinctures may need to be taken with something acidic, but that was not indicated

for the capsules. I've been taking the capsules of Cat's Claw with a bit of

lemon juice in water. Knotweed had previously mentioned that the Cat's Claw

might be more effective if taken on an empty stomach before a meal. Has anyone

experienced a difference in effectiveness with that approach? I'm concerned

about stomach upset.
