The directions, exactly as the brand states them
Take two capsules daily with water, at the same time each day, ideally with a meal. That is the whole instruction. Always follow the serving directions on the bottle label, which is the final word on how much and how often.
A bottle holds 60 capsules, so at this rhythm it is listed as a 30-day supply. If you ever lose track, count what remains: half a bottle means about two weeks.
Why the same time each day matters
Supplements are a rhythm game. A blend of botanicals such as hawthorn, hibiscus and garlic is the sort of thing people judge across weeks, not hours, so the single most useful thing you can do is show up consistently. A fixed time removes the daily negotiation with yourself.
It also makes gaps obvious. If breakfast is always when you take them, a skipped morning is easy to spot and easy to fix the next day without doubling up.
A morning example: pour the coffee, take the two capsules with a glass of water while breakfast cooks, and the habit is done before the inbox opens. An evening example works just as well, taken at the end of dinner while the table is still set.
Pick your anchor
The best anchor is something that already happens without fail. A few that work well:
- Breakfast: bottle next to the coffee maker or the cereal bowl.
- Dinner: bottle on the table, which suits people whose mornings are rushed.
- Lunch at your desk: keep the bottle in a drawer beside your mug.
- Teeth brushing: only if you also eat something at that hour, since the brand suggests taking them with a meal.
Choose one and stay there for a month before experimenting.
Making the capsules hard to forget
Visual cues beat willpower. Place the maroon-and-gold bottle where your eyes land at the moment you would normally take them. A small weekly pill organizer helps too: fill seven days of two capsules on Sunday, and you can see at a glance whether today is done.
Phone reminders are fine for the first few weeks, though aim to outgrow them. The goal is for the meal itself to be the trigger.
If your meals are irregular, tie the capsules to the biggest one of the day instead. A larger meal is rarely skipped, and it is also the easiest moment to remember a glass of water to go with them.
Pair it with habits that carry their own weight
A capsule is one piece of a routine. Meals built around vegetables, legumes, whole grains and olive oil, a walk after dinner, a regular bedtime and enough water all matter on their own. The MyPlate site offers practical plate ideas, and our piece on building a sustainable heart wellness routine shows how the pieces fit.
Stacking the capsules onto a good meal makes the habit feel like part of looking after yourself rather than a chore.
What to do on busy or off days
Travel, late meetings and weekends will scramble any schedule. Keep a few days of capsules in a small container in your bag so the routine moves with you. If you miss a day, simply resume the normal two capsules the next day with your usual meal, and do not try to catch up.
Then keep going. Consistency over a month looks like most days done, not every day perfect.

Weekends deserve a plan too. Because they run to a different clock, decide in advance which meal is the anchor, and keep the bottle on the counter so it is in sight when that meal arrives.
