We get asked a fair bit about long term use of this product, our supplements, and supplements in general. While there may be no long term use negative impacts studies, or negative impacts from long term use at all, we always feel that giving the body a break for 20-30 days in between 3-6 month cycles helps you optimize sensitivity to all of the ingredients.
