Hello:
Would this be safe for a 16 year old? Thank you.
I didn’t realize how much neuromag was helping me until I ran out. After the first week of not having it I realized I was having trouble getting my thoughts together, the brain fog that I had overcome while taking neuromag was back.
Wondering about the dosage…take all 3 pills at one time? Is nighttime better than morning, or does it matter? One pill 3X daily? How long before I should expect to see results from this supplement?
I take it in the morning, all at one time. I’ve not tried taking it at night.
