Why does it say not to take Tikva at the same time as a high protein meal?

The protein from the foods you eat are considered simple proteins. There are several amino acids in Tikva that are considered complex proteins. The way your body is set up, is that you will absorb the simple proteins easier than the complex proteins. So if you take Tikva at the same time as a high protein meal, Tikva will not be absorbed properly, and you will not get the full benefits.

You can take Tikva if you are eating a meal that is not high in protein. However, if your meal will be high in protein, take the Tikva either 20 minutes before eating or 2 hours after.
