You can take EMMA anytime of the day. Usually after a meal and with lots of water (6oz or more).
If you eat something bad (greasy, unhelathy food) or your stomach feels "icky" after eating out, take EMMA immediately.
When you travel overseas to third world countries, or places with foreign diets and cuisines, bring EMMA with you and take 2 capsules with every meal.
You can take up to 4 capsules a day if needed.
