How should I take MediOlive® Olive Leaf Complex (OLC)?
A. When used as a health supplement most people take 5mL (one metric teaspoon) two to three times per day with food. If people find the bittersweet flavour too strong, they simply dilute it with fruit juice or wash it down with water. Due to their smaller size, children (over two years) can take 2.5mL (half metric teaspoon) two to three times per day with food or juice. Taking the OLC on an empty stomach 30 minutes before food allows it to be absorbed more quickly into the body but some people may find that the flavour is too strong to be taken on an empty stomach. Each person has their own preferred method of taking their OLC. It can be beneficial for certain mouth conditions to swill the OLC in the mouth for about five seconds prior to swallowing.
