Zyflamend PM is manufactured by NewChapter and is billed as a supplement for people who experience difficulty sleeping, or for those suffering from pain and inflammation. Before you decide to try this supplement, it is important to learn more about the ingredients that are included in each pill. As always, it is absolutely vital to check with your doctor before trying any new supplement. Zyflamend PM in particular has several ingredients which may interact adversely with different types of medication.
Recommended Dosage:
The manufacturer recommends that you take 2 of the softgel capsules with a full 8 ounce glass of water, during meal time. Please make sure that you drink the entire 8 ounces, as you may experience problems if you do not.

If you are new to Zyflamend PM, it is a good idea to start by taking one softgel until you have determined how effective it is.
