I take Prelief with every meal because I find it most effective in helping me with my gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). The amount I take depends upon what I plan to eat and/or drink. If I suspect the food (or beverage) might cause me a problem I'll take as many as three caplets prior to indulging. The instructions clearly state that amount is appropriate and even more especially for larger meals. If I have the faintest discomfort after the meal or beverage I'm comfortable taking two more and almost always that acidy feeling goes away.
The fine product is advertised as being useful when consuming "trigger foods" but I take it routinely prior to all meals or snacks. Prior to meals that are "sensible" for someone with acid reflux issues, I take only one caplet before and one after the meal.
I find it's more economical to buy in the 300 caplet containers which, after I order, iHerb never fails to ship to me in a timely manner. I carry several caplets in one of those small transparent pill pouches; they are strong enough that they don't break or erode even when I put the pouch in a front pocket of my trousers or jeans.
For the record, I'm an active 81-year-old male, in good shape at 5' 11", 174 pounds.
