A How-To-Use Guide of Xandro Lab Supplements

There are numerous benefits of dietary supplements, whether it’s to fill in the gap of vitamins and nutrients that are missing from your diet, to fix a deficiency or whether it’s because you’ve begun biohacking, fixing or improving specific aspects of your body or health.

Whichever the reason, it’s important to know how to take supplements, so that’s why we’ve compiled a list of Xandro Lab Supplements, along with how much to take, the best time too take and how to use each.

We’ve also detailed some considerations when taking our supplements, such as what supplements should not be taken together, which supplements can actually help their absorption and when to be careful, regarding your stage of life or any medications you may be taking.

As always, talk with your doctor before taking any new supplements, especially if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding or have health conditions.

Spermidine 10g

What should I know before taking Spermidine?

Dosage of Spermidine: Spermidine has a recommended dosage of 2 to 10g per day.

When to Take Spermidine: Preferably, take Spermidine with food, typically your first meal to enhance the intermittent fasting effects.

How to Use Spermidine: Take one to two capsules of Xandro Lab’s Spermidine 10g per day, starting with one capsule, then gradually increasing to two once your body tolerates it.

Calcium AKG 500mg

What should I know before taking Calcium AKG?

Dosage of Calcium AKG: There is currently no recommended daily dosage of AKG, although, for exercise, a dose between 1 to 15g per day is often taken. For osteoporosis, a daily dose of 6g of Ca-AKG has shown to increase bone mass density.

In terms of calcium dosage, calcium has an upper limit of 2500mg per day up to 50 years old, then it’s over 2000mg. Recommended is between 1000 and 1300mg per day. This AKG supplement contains 90mg of calcium in the 500mg capsule.

When to Take Calcium AKG: Take Calcium AKG with a meal, preferably at midday, to help break it down.

How to Use Calcium AKG: Take one or two capsules daily, starting with one then gradually increasing to two. This supplement is an AKG supplement and not a calcium supplement as only 90mg of the 500mg is calcium. AKG is possibly safe to use for up to three years, but to be safe, don’t take when pregnant.

If you want the calcium to be better absorbed, then don’t take with meals that contain a lot of fibre, as the fibre may bind with the calcium and hinder its absorption. In a same vein, avoid taking it at the same time as iron. Calcium should always be taken in combination with vitamin K and vitamin D as this helps the body absorb calcium better. This is why it’s better to take Calcium AKG at midday as this gives us the opportunity to absorb more sunlight.

Trans-Resveratrol 500mg

What should I know before taking Trans-Resveratrol?

Dosage of Resveratrol: Up to 5g, but side effects generally occur after 2.5mg.

When to Take Resveratrol: It’s best to take Trans-Resveratrol with food, although some people have found their body absorbs resveratrol best on an empty stomach at night, so see what’s best for you.

How to Use Resveratrol: Take one or two capsules each day, beginning with one, then increasing to two after 14 days. Resveratrol works great when taken with NMN powder as they are both used for NAD+ production. Resveratrol has a tendency to mimic estrogen and worsen certain medical conditions. Medications metabolised by the liver may interact with resveratrol, so speak with a doctor before taking. Do not take after surgery to reduce bleeding risks.

When to Take Ashwagandha: Take with meals to prevent stomach upset. Taking in the evening may help with sleep and relaxation. Due to this, it’s best to take one at lunch and one at dinner.

How to Use Ashwagandha: Take two capsules per day, starting with a low dose then gradually increasing as needed. Don’t use if pregnant and breastfeeding and use cautiously if you have autoimmune conditions. Don’t take if taking glucose-lowering, blood pressure, immune suppressant, sleep aid or thyroid hormone medications.

Pure NMN Powder 30g

What should I know before taking NMN Powder?

Dissolve half a scoop of powder (scoop provided) in water or food like yoghurt, or place under the tongue to dissolve. NMN Powder works great when taken with Trans-Resveratrol.
