❓ Q & A
Q: What are the benefits of this tonic?
A: It may support digestion, circulation, immune health, and gentle detox through hydration and natural ingredients.
Q: Can I drink this every day?
A: Many people do, but 3–4 times a week is enough for most. Daily use may be too strong for sensitive stomachs.
Q: Is this safe on an empty stomach?
A: Yes for most people, but if you have acid reflux or stomach sensitivity, drink it after a light meal.
Q: Can I prepare it ahead of time?
A: No—fresh is best. Garlic and lemon lose potency when stored.
Q: Can I skip the olive oil?
A: You can, but olive oil helps soften the garlic’s intensity and supports absorption.

A: It supports healthy habits and digestion, but it’s not a standalone weight-loss solution.
