Hi Jai!

The way I read it, you should be taking one Basic #3 with each meal and one Essential oil with 2 meals (your choice). I'm not sure if it matters if you take them all at one time or not, but I think the idea is that since these are not time-release supplements, that you should spread them out to keep a steady level in your bloodstream instead of giving yourself one big jolt all at one time. I'm sure someone will be along soon with a better explanation, but in the mean time I hope this helps.
