Thanks for the question. You are fine consuming the Weight Loss and Liver Support tablet more than 30min before a meal as long as you’re taking the 3 tabs daily, as that will keep the ingredients working in your system. The idea of 30 minutes before a meal is to maximize the African Mangos (Irvingian Gabonensis) appetite suppressing effects but as long as you take the daily dose split throughout the day, the product will maintain effectiveness.
