Prior to the purchase of Matol Botanical International by Univera, there were no restrictions or warnings on the Km bottle, and there are no instances that we are aware of where a difficulty was experienced. However, now that Univera owns the product there is a notice on the Km bottle, and we feel it is prudent to include that notice here as it is printed on the Km bottle:
DIRECTIONS: Take one (1) tablespoon (15ml) in the morning and one (1) at night, on its own or mixed with your choice of cold beverage, Km is a mineral supplement prepared by a special process, from a combination of minerals and extract of traditional botanical plants: fruits, flowers, foliage, roots and barks.

How do I get started taking Km? Make the first tasting of Km special -- hold the Km in your mouth for 10- 15 seconds before swallowing. Notice the tingling sensation and any other effects you feel as it begins to enter your system. After swallowing it, how does your stomach feel? Some people notice warmth or the sensation of energy running throughout their body. Be aware of any other subtle benefits that occur throughout the day.
What is the recommended dosage? One tablespoon (1/2 ounce), twice each day - once in the morning and once just before bed. The cap of the Km bottle holds one dose. We recommend that everyone start with a teaspoon twice each day and increase to the normal dose over a period of two or three days.
How quickly will I experience the benefits of Km? About 1/'3 of the people who try Km feel results within the first few minutes to the first few days. Another 1/3 feel results within the first few weeks to a month. Another 1/3 feel results with 1 - 3 months. This is because each person's metabolism and body chemistry is different and unique. We call it "the 1/3 Rule."
Can Km cause problems for someone with serious ailments or medical conditions? No. Km is safe for people with heart problems, diabetes, epilepsy., and so on. The FDA classifies Km as a food supplement, and it is safe for consumption. People with severe kidney failure should consult their physician before taking Km or any supplement that adds minerals to their diet.
What about older people? We do recommend very strongly that older people, people who have any serious ailments, people who are taking any medication for a major malady start with one teaspoon only once per day. Increase the amount to one teaspoon twice per day and then to a normal dose over a period of a week or more. Mix it with milk, water, or a favorite juice, so the body can more easily assimilate the product.
What if I am taking a medication?
You may take Km along with any type of medication.
NEVER
STOP TAKING ANY MEDICATION YOUR DOCTOR HAS GIVEN YOU. START WITH
SMALL QUANTITIES OF KM. IF YOU FEEL BETTER, ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU
MAY STOP TAKING SOME OF THE MEDICATION. DO NOT STOP TAKING ANY MEDICATION
ON YOUR OWN, NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS.
Can a person get too much potassium by taking Km? No, except for persons on kidney dialysis. Persons on dialysis should not take Km unless approved by their physician. The recommended daily serving of Km (one ounce) contains only 585 mg. of potassium. That is less potassium than an eight ounce glass of fresh squeezed orange Juice, a banana, or a four inch potato. The human body can safely absorb up to 5,625 mg of potassium daily, and needs at least 1,875 mg.. of potassium daily.
Are there any other minerals in Km? Yes. A recommended daily serving contains 65.7 mg. calcium, 2.7 mg. iron, and .045 mg. iodine.
Can children take Km? There are no age restrictions. A person could conceivably take Km their whole life, from childhood through old age. Introduce Km to a child by starting with a few drops and gradually increase to one teaspoon per day.
Can a woman take Km while pregnant? Yes, it is perfectly safe to continue taking Km during pregnancy. Many women report reduced or eliminated "morning sickness" when taking Km.
Why are there sometimes crystals at the bottom of the bottle? It is natural for Km to form crystals after a period of time because of the saturation of minerals. The crystals are inert material coming- out of the solution and not the active ingredients. You may chew on them if you wish, or strain them out. Their removal won't affect the potency of the product.
Is Km high in calories? No. The caloric content of Km is insignificant, and taking Km will not interfere with anyone's weight-loss diet. The carbohydrate content of Km is also insignificant, so taking Km will not interfere with a low carbohydrate content diet.
How long does Km keep its potency? There is no expiration date on the Km bottle. It doesn't need to be refrigerated, and freezing doesn't lessen its effectiveness. Prolonged high temperatures should be avoided.
Will Km improve athletic performance? For an interesting test, try taking Km 1/2 hour before strenuous exercise or aerobic activity, and compare the difference in your breathing, endurance, energy level and stress tolerance.
Can I use Km externally? Yes. Km may be applied externally to scratches, burns, bites, cold sores (fever blisters), and to dry up rash caused by poison ivy. It can be used on troublesome skin for a more radiant complexion. You may also want to try Km Lotion, specifically blended for skin care.
How do you spell relief.? ... Km: Many people who have indulged in too much good food and drink have found Km to be the solution to their discomfort. Similar to many foods like ginger and papaya that aid in digestion, many feel Km is an excellent digestive aid when taken with meals.
Aren't there many other herbal drinks as good as Km? No, Km is unique. Although one would get benefits from each of the individual ingredients of Km, the uniqueness of Km is in the synergy ... the molecular bond of each ingredient to the other, producing an entirely new substance, greater than the sum of its individual ingredients. The proof is in the results. Km has been used for over 70 years; over 33 million bottles have been sold since it became available commercially.
Is Km addictive? Only if you enjoy feeling good! Km is a food. There is no physical addiction to Km and no withdrawal reactions if it is discontinued.
