Safety

Suggested use & safety.

The starting range, the daily ceiling, and who should talk to a doctor first — the same words that are on the box.

Read Before Your First Square

Small amounts, on purpose.

The label sets a starting point and a daily ceiling. Both are printed on the box, and both are reproduced here exactly.

Suggested use

Start with 4 pieces a day, eating no more than one bar per day unless otherwise directed by a nutritionist or health professional. Consult a nutritionist or health professional for recommendations.

Caution

Do not exceed suggested use. Pregnant or nursing mothers, children and individuals with a known medical condition should consult their physician before using this or any dietary supplement. If you have any adverse reactions to this product, discontinue use immediately.

The questions we get

How much is a serving?

Three pieces, 10 g total. There are five servings in a bar. The label suggests starting with four pieces a day and not exceeding one bar per day unless a nutritionist or health professional directs otherwise.

Why is there a ceiling at all?

Apricot kernels contain amygdalin, and the compounds involved are dose-sensitive. That is why the packaging gives an explicit range rather than leaving it open. If you are unsure, ask a nutritionist or your physician before starting.

Who should check with a doctor first?

Pregnant or nursing mothers, children, and anyone with a known medical condition should consult their physician before using this or any dietary supplement.

What if I don't feel right?

If you have any adverse reactions to this product, discontinue use immediately. If symptoms are serious or persist, seek medical attention.

How should I store it?

Keep it cool and dry. Chocolate blooms in heat — harmless, but it dulls the snap and the look.

Is this a substitute for medical treatment?

No. 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, and nothing here replaces a conversation with your doctor.
