Q Should I take Gongjindan in the morning or evening? Does the timing matter?
A Generally, taking it on an empty stomach in the morning or 30 minutes before a meal is best for absorption. If you have weak digestion, taking it right after a meal is fine too. Taking it consistently at the same time matters more than the specific timing.
Detailed Answer
Gongjindan is typically taken as a pill, with warm water, on an empty stomach in the morning. If taking it on an empty stomach is hard on your digestion, you can take it 30 minutes after a meal instead. On days with drinking occasions, skip the dose or take it the following morning. Refrigerated storage is recommended, and taking it within the expiration date is important.
