How To Use 2025


Clinical studies in the US with Ocufolin® have shown the optimal dose to be three capsules daily. Your physician may adjust this to your specific situation.
Best Practices in Taking Ocufolin®
- Take Ocufolin® at mealtime (absorption of active ingredients works best when taken with food). On your first day or two, take only one capsule. Then add a second capsule for another day or two. Finally, increase to three capsules a day. This allows your body time to adjust to the extra methylation being created.
- Take Ocufolin® at one time or in divided doses.
A Few Simple Precautions
- Please avoid taking Ocufolin® with water on an empty stomach.
- If you feel a burst of energy when taking Ocufolin® (relatively high B12 dose), consider taking it earlier in the day to avoid disrupting sleep. The energy burst may be similar to the sensation of drinking two cups of coffee.
- If you feel “hyper” after taking Ocufolin®, reduce the dose to one capsule daily and slowly building back to three capsules daily. This allows your body time to adjust to the extra methylation being created. If this continues, consult your physician. A lower dose may be prescribed.
- If you frequently experience heartburn sensations, avoid laying down flat for at least three hours after taking Ocufolin®.
- If your urine becomes bright yellow or has a slightly musty smell, this is very normal (riboflavin), no need to worry.
- If you find the capsules hard to swallow, take a spoonful of applesauce or pudding to coat your mouth and throat before taking Ocufolin®. Follow with a few ounces of water or milk. You may, if necessary, open the capsules and mix the contents with applesauce or pudding.
