How should I take RCE™ if I'm on a GLP-1?Updated 2 hours ago
GLP-1 medications slow digestion — that's how they work. RCE™ is designed to support you through that, and the right starting point depends on whether you're currently using a laxative.
First, which describes you?
Not currently taking a laxative → follow Path A below.
Currently taking a laxative (daily or most days) → follow Path B.
Before you start, check "When to talk to your provider first" at the end.
Path A — Starting RCE™ on its own
Step 1. Start with 1 capsule a day, with a full glass of water.
Step 2. Build to 2–3 capsules a day as tolerated. Don't exceed 4 in 24 hours.
Step 3. Once you're stable and regular, consider adding DMN™ for microbiome support.
Path B — Starting RCE™ while using a laxative
Don't stop your laxative and expect RCE™ to fill the gap immediately. Build RCE™ up first, then step the laxative down once things are clearly moving. If you reduce too early, you fall behind — and the more backed up you get, the harder it is to catch up.
Step 1. Keep your laxative dose. Add 1 capsule of RCE™ a day, with a full glass of water.
Step 2. Build over several days — 2 capsules, then 3 if needed — giving each level a couple of days. Don't exceed 4 in 24 hours.
Step 3. Watch for your signal: stool becoming softer, easier, and more predictable.
Step 4. Step down on the laxative, step up on RCE™ if you need it. Work with your doctor to reduce the laxative gradually rather than stopping outright, holding at each level a few days before the next change.
A note on timing
When you take RCE™ depends on what's bothering you most. If nausea and fullness are the main issue, take it before meals so the ginger is working ahead of food. If constipation is the bigger problem, prioritize the evening — magnesium works overnight and sets up a morning movement. If it's both, split the difference: most of it in the evening, one capsule before your largest meal. A larger evening dose can bring on a fairly urgent morning movement — that's expected; aim for comfortable and regular, not loose. Some people land at 2 capsules a day, others at 3–4.
When to talk to your provider first
Talk to your provider before starting if you have kidney disease, a known or suspected bowel blockage, a history of fecal impaction, significant bloating or distension, or constipation you haven't discussed with them. Stop and call your provider for severe or worsening abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or no bowel movement for several days — on a GLP-1 these can signal a serious slowdown. Some causes, including pelvic floor dysfunction (common and often unrecognized), won't respond to supplements or laxatives.
RCE™ is a dietary supplement. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Space RCE™ several hours apart from medications such as thyroid medication, some antibiotics, and bone medications; if your GLP-1 is an oral tablet, keep RCE™ separate from it too. If you take a GLP-1 or any prescription medication, check with your provider before starting a new supplement or changing an existing regimen.
