Notes & Storage
- Sublingual use (held under the tongue for 60 seconds) has faster onset — 15–45 minutes — than swallowed edibles.
- Store in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months. Refrigerate to extend shelf life.
- MCT oil does not solidify, making it ideal for adding to beverages and smoothies.
Edibles take 30–120 minutes to take effect. Label all infused food clearly and store away from children. Not medical advice.
