Q: How do I take The Super Elixir?
A: It's simple – take two teaspoons (10 g) each day in water, a smoothie or any cold beverage of your choice. We recommend taking your daily serving of The Super Elixir each morning or during the day (an hour before or after coffee), rather than bedtime. The Super Elixir contains ingredients such as Biotin, Ginseng and Green Tea Leaf extract, that assist with energy production and mental focus throughout the day.
Q: What is the best time of day to take The Super Elixir?
A: We recommend taking your daily serving of The Super Elixir each morning or during the day rather than bedtime. The Super Elixir contains ingredients such as Siberian Ginseng and Green Tea Leaf extract, that may assist with energy production and mental focus throughout the day. We recommend taking The Super Elixir an hour before or after coffee, as caffeine can interfere with the absorption of natural ingredients.
Q: Can I take The Super Elixir at night?
A: The Super Elixir isn't recommended to be consumed at night due to the inclusion of B vitamins, ginseng and a small amount of caffeine from green tea extract. All of these ingredients are included to support energy production and are best consumed in the morning or afternoon to avoid any impacts to sleep.
Q: How much of The Super Elixir should I take?
A: It's simple – to see the full beauty through wellness benefits that come with an ongoing commitment to The Super Elixir, take two teaspoons each day in water, a smoothie or any cold beverage of your choice. You can even add your two teaspoons to chilled foods, making it even easier to incorporate into your everyday routine.
Q: Can I take more than two teaspoons a day?
A: Missed your two teaspoons yesterday? Good news! There's no reason why you can't double your dose today, or any other day for that matter to amplify your efforts. In fact, our founder Elle Macpherson opts for two big scoops (or tablespoons) of The Super Elixireach day, rather than teaspoons. There's no issue with taking extra servings of The Super Elixir in a single day, just remember be sure to have them earlier rather than later – our powerful plant-based greens aren't designed to be taken at night, as the vitamins may impact your sleep.
Q: Can men take The Super Elixir?
A: Yes, The Super Elixir™ is perfect for anyone over 16 years old (male or female). With over 40+ ingredients, The Super Elixir™ provides a complete daily solution for everyone - male or female.
