Considerations:
- Tolerance: Start with a smaller serving (e.g., 1 scoop) to assess your tolerance to the ingredients, especially if you are sensitive to caffeine.
- Hydration: Ensure you are adequately hydrated when using Essential Amino Energy, as it can have a mild diuretic effect due to the caffeine content.
- Cycling: Consider cycling your usage to prevent building a tolerance to the ingredients. You can use it consistently for a few weeks, then take a break for a week or two.
- Caffeine Content: Be mindful of the caffeine content, especially if you are sensitive to stimulants or consume other caffeinated products throughout the day. Check the label for the exact caffeine content per serving.
- Individual Needs: Adjust the serving size and timing based on your individual needs and preferences.
