How to Use My Alai Multisystem Support®

The recommended daily dose is 20g or two scoops. Add two scoops to 250mls of water, juice or a smoothie and mix well.

For simplicity, you can take the full dose in the morning. Alternatively, you can split the daily dose by taking one scoop twice a day.

It's best to mix it into a smoothie as a complete meal or take it after food, rather than on an empty stomach.

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose as My Alai Multisystem Support® is a therapeutic formulation not a functional food. Adherence to dosing guidelines is important to avoid unwanted effects.

Supplements are best used alongside a healthy diet. Sign up for the Bio-Alai® Personalised Nutrition Program for a diet tailored to your needs.
