5 Tips to Ensure That You Enjoy the Full Benefits of PGX

New to PGX? Discover how to achieve the best results with your PGX.

  1. Take it consistently: In order to notice results, it is important that you try to take PGX before each and every meal, whether it be in capsule or granule form.

  2. Drink LOTS of water: Be sure to drink at least 250 mL (8 oz) of water with every 2.5 gram serving of PGX.

  3. Increase PGX slowly: Start with 1 to 2 softgel capsule(s) of PGX Daily before each meal. You can increase your intake by 1 capsule per meal every 2 to 3 days. However, if you find that you are experiencing digestive upset, increase the dose at a slower rate to give your body time to adjust.

  4. Know that everyone is different: Not everyone will achieve the best results with the same amount of PGX. Some people find 2 to 3 softgels or 2.5 grams of PGX granules to be effective. However, others require the maximum dose of 6 softgels of PGX Daily or 5 grams of PGX granules in order to reduce portion size.

  5. 6 softgels or 5 grams max: Although you should continue to increase your intake of PGX until you experience a significant reduction in hunger and between-meal food cravings, do not exceed 6 softgels or 5 grams taken up to three times per day.

5 Ways to Make Your Big Day a Healthier Event

Many brides make an effort to be in the best shape of their lives for their wedding day. Of course, you want to look your absolute best for a day where all eyes will be one you! We have complete faith in your ability to achieve your goals for your wedding and we know you're going to look fabulous! But why stop all your efforts come the big day? Start your life together as husband and wife by making an extra effort to be healthy on your wedding day. Here are some ideas that we came up with:

  1. Do something active for your bachelor or bachelorette party.Check out some of the fun bachelorette party ideas we came up with last year, including running a 5K together or going away for a weekend of skiing and snowboarding!

  2. Go with a healthy "cake" option. Instead of the traditional wedding cake, look into healthier alternatives, such as cakes made of tiers of fruit. You can find some health-inspired ideas on our Pinterest board, Wedding Season with PGX.

  3. Limit your alcohol intake. We're not saying don't celebrate with a glass or two of bubbly! But try limiting your the amount you drink and you'll cut down on your calorie intake for the day. You'll want to remember your big day, after all.

  4. Go for a walk prior to the ceremony. Stretch out your legs and get out those last minute jitters with a leisurely walk with your bridal party or groomsmen.

  5. Stay hydrated. Try to keep a water bottle on hand or better yet, have water available throughout your wedding to all guests.

But most importantly, have an incredible day!
