Recommended Daily Dose
In most cases, the recommended starting dose for adults is two (2) capsules daily. The majority of AMORYN users report that two (2) capsules per day work effectively
without any side effects. Take the first capsule in the morning and the second capsule in the afternoon.
The standard dose of two (2) capsules daily works well in most cases, but some people require a higher dose. If you do not respond (or respond only partially) to two (2) capsules, we recommend
increasing your daily dose to three (3) or four (4) capsules. For a detailed discussion about whether and when to raise your daily dose, refer to the section on making adjustments.
Certain individuals may benefit from starting with a half-dose of one (1) capsule per day. During the first week, we recommend taking this reduced dose if you:
weigh less than 120 pounds
are particularly sensitive to supplements and drugs
often experience side effects when taking new supplements or drugs
have moderate-to-severe anxiety-related symptoms or often have difficulty sleeping
Unless you experience side effects, increase to the standard dose of two (2) capsules daily after one week.
Children ages 12-18 should start with one (1) capsule daily, or half the adult dose, and should not take AMORYN without the supervision of a
parent or guardian and the approval of a physician. The dose can be increased to two (2) capsules per day after two weeks, but should not
exceed two (2) capsules unless directed by a physician. Children under 12 should not take AMORYN, or any other supplement, unless a
pediatrician approves, supervises, and determines the appropriate daily dose.
| DOSE | DESCRIPTION | NOTES |
| One (1) capsule daily | Mild | Initial dose for individual who are small, sensitive, particularly anxious, or under 18-years-old. |
| Two (2) capsules daily | Moderate
(Standard) | Recommended adult dose. Ideal for most people. Contains dose of main ingredient (hyperforin) most often used in clinical trials and proven effective for mild-moderate depression and anxiety. |
| Three (3) capsules daily | Strong | For individuals who do not respond to lower doses. |
| Four (4) capsules daily | Maximum | For individuals who do not respond to lower doses. More often required in moderate-severe cases. Do not exceed four (4) capsules daily unless your doctor instructs you to do so. |
 When and How to Take AMORYN
AMORYN will not work if taken occasionally or "as needed". If you are
taking more than one capsule per day, spread your daily dose of AMORYN throughout the day.
(For instance, if you are taking two capsules daily, we recommend taking the first in the morning
and the second in the afternoon.) The exact time of day that the capsules are taken is not important, but you should avoid taking
more than one (1) capsule within a single 4-hour period. Taking two (2) capsules at once is not unsafe but may reduce the
absorption of AMORYN's main ingredient, hyperforin.
|
TIP:
If necessary, you can adjust your dosing schedule to maximize the benefits of AMORYN. For instance, if you feel stimulated and energized
after taking AMORYN or have difficulty sleeping, take your final capsule earlier in the day instead of at night (e.g. 1st in the morning and 2nd in the early afternoon).
On the other hand, if you find that AMORYN produces a soothing, calming effect and helps you sleep,
it's best to take the day's last capsule at bedtime.

AMORYN can be taken with or without food. In the rare event that you experience stomach upset, nausea, or other gastrointestinal side effects,
taking AMORYN with meals often reduces or eliminates these side effects.
Speed of Response
AMORYN works gradually over many weeks and should not be expected to provide immediate benefits. In actuality, clinical research shows that hyperforin (AMORYN's main ingredient)
starts reducing symptoms in less than a week. But because AMORYN's short-term effects can be extremely subtle, you may not notice changes for many weeks.
As its effects steadily increase week after week, however, AMORYN can produce a dramatic long-term improvement in mood.
Studies show that hyperforin continues to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety after 6-8 weeks of use, so AMORYN may not reach maximum effectiveness for
two months or more.
The speed of response varies greatly for each individual. On average, AMORYN users first notice positive changes
after three weeks, but some report improvement in less than a week while others experience benefits only after six or seven weeks.
For this reason, it's important that you remain patient
and not become discouraged if you don't detect any changes during the first month.
|
TIP: Just because you feel little or no difference after taking
AMORYN for many weeks does not mean that AMORYN will not work for you,
because AMORYN can improve mood dramatically in the long-run even when it produces no apparent short-term effects.
AMORYN works so gradually that it seems to "sneak up" on certain individuals.
Some new users initially notice no difference whatsoever and assume AMORYN isn't working... They are usually surprised to wake up many weeks later and realize that they feel happier, more
balanced, and more optimistic than they have in years.
Because of this, you must use AMORYN for 6-8 weeks in order to accurately evaluate its long-term effects.

The chart below shows that while only 35% of AMORYN users report positive changes
during the first two weeks, 65% notice improvement within four weeks and 87% within seven weeks. Significantly, the data indicates that
even if you have not yet experienced benefits after one month,
there's nearly a 2 in 3 chance that you'll start feeling better during weeks 5-7. This underscores the importance using AMORYN for at least eight weeks
before judging its effectiveness.

Making Adjustments
Keep in mind that the ideal daily dose and dosing schedule vary for every person. Although the standard dose (2/day) works well for many people,
others experience greater improvement with doses of three (3) or four (4) capsules daily.
But higher doses are not always better: for some people, they provide no additional benefit but may be more likely to cause side effects.
For this reason, we recommend that you start with a daily dose of two (2) capsules daily.
If this produces little or no improvement after 2-6 weeks, you should raise your dose at that time.
There's no hard-and-fast rule specifying exactly how long to wait for results before trying a higher dose.
If you prefer an aggressive approach, you can increase your dose after just 2-3 weeks. If you wish to proceed conservatively,
take AMORYN for 4-6 weeks before adding a third or fourth capsule.
Remember that AMORYN may not become fully effective for about two months, so you should not expect a dramatic improvement within the first few weeks.
If you begin feeling better when taking the standard dose of two (2) capsules and decide to continue taking it, you should still re-evaluate your progress
after 6-8 weeks. If you're satisfied with the results then stick with your current dose.
But if you still experience mild symptoms and desire further improvement, increase your daily dose to four (4) capsules.
Reducing your daily dose to just one (1) capsule, either temporarily or permanently, is beneficial if you experience certain side effects
when taking higher doses. Even one (1) capsule of AMORYN produces positive results for many people,
and the amount of hyperforin in a single capsule has been proven effective
in clinical trials. For most people, however, two (2) or more capsules provides a greater degree of relief,
so we recommend a daily dose of one (1) capsule only if you cannot tolerate higher doses. Please learn more about the
possible side effects and how to minimize them by adjusting your dose.
Storage and Handling
Keep AMORYN in a cool, dark place. In most cases, the freezer is the ideal place to store unopened bottles.
To prevent moisture from condensing within the bottle,
remove it from the freezer a few hours before opening for the first time (so that it's at room temperature when opened).
Once opened, bottles should be kept with the cap closed (except when removing capsules)
and stored in a dark place (such as a cabinet or drawer). Avoid extended storage in places with excessive heat (e.g. in a car during summer) or light (e.g. on a desk).
Other Beneficial Supplements
If you struggle with anxiety or panic attacks, you may experience the best results by combining
AMORYN with SEREDYN,
a natural supplement that helps relieve anxiety immediately after a single dose. Both AMORYN and SEREDYN help reduce feelings of panic and anxiety
for over 85% of users, but they contain different ingredients that function in distinctive but complementary ways.
AMORYN must be taken every day for many weeks in order to provide sustained mood support and long-term anxiety relief,
while SEREDYN can be taken occasionally "as needed" and acts fast to calm your fears, reduce your worries, and prevent or stop panic
attacks. SEREDYN achieves a high success rate,
but is not addictive or habit-forming like prescription anti-anxiety drugs. In addition to AMORYN, you can take SEREDYN every day to help
relieve chronic anxiety and prevent panic attacks, or you can utilize SEREDYN "as needed" to relax in stressful situations and calm down
quickly when you're feeling panicked.
