Can You Eat While Taking Modafinil?

According to studies, the administration of the drug with food may probably delay the active ingredient’s absorption without significantly affecting its overall bioavailability. As per the product label, modafinil’s absorption may be delayed by approx. an hour if administered with food [3].

Most people use the nootropic for two reasons: to heighten brainpower & productivity and to cut weight (this can work if it’s used without taking any meals). A large meal will nullify both of the said benefits because it heightens the blood glucose levels, putting you in fat-storing mode rather than fat-burning mode. This means the body is attempting to store energy in case food sources become scarce. Besides heightening blood glucose levels, a heavy meal will probably slow you down if eaten during your “peak” hours, which can be a real problem if you’re working on something time-sensitive. Note that if you’re going to administer the “smart drug,” it’s advisable to try it out on an empty stomach first.
