The way it is metabolized is through the gut so eating something of substance gets the digestive juices going which helps it get going. Its heavily pushed and marketed and magically they just received a patent renewal so it wont be generic yet in the USA. HOWEVER there is a generic of it in the UK. Hmmmmm...
