why are people questioning 40mg
1300020
40mg is the Patented dosage for the Rice Phytoceramide Formula, whereas Phytoceramides made from Wheat (such as Lipowheat) have a different daily dose of 350mg. Some people have heard that you should take 350mg a day but didn't realize that was only for Wheat-based Phytoceramides. The Gluten-free Rice Phytoceramides only require 40mg a day and still produce better results for skin hydration and skin appearance than the Wheat Phytoceramides (per clinical research). I hope this answered your question and Thank you so much for asking!

I'm sorry I'm not a medical personnel but in terms of energy and mental fog it helped me out a great deal BUT once I felt great and stop taking them after the first dose I experienced massive headaches but everyone is different you just need to take chances to find what works for YOU. Good luck!

I questioned Bulk Supplements about this and here is what they said:"Hello Eric, Looking into this, 1/2 teaspoon is 2500 mg; you were correct on the 5grams; 1 teaspoon should be 5000mg and then 1 1/2 teaspoons should be 7500. We will be correcting the label issue asap. Thank you and if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you and have a great day. Shanyel BulkSupplements.com "Really?? How can I trust a supplement company when they can't even get their dosage correct? So this product is basically half the dosage for full price. I will be staying away from them and I strongly suggest everyone else does as well. This is incredibly concerning and puts their credibility into question.

As far as I know items like this; supplements and herbs are not FDA approved. That doesn't make me uneasy though. Think of all the medications they have approved and have turned out to be very harmful to your health. I was a pharmacy tecnition for twenty five years and have been amazed that people don't question the drugs they take. Just my opinion of course. I have started my second bottle and am still losing and feel great.

I have had it for about 6 months.I use it and there is an immediate noticeable affect. It is not a magic pill or sales gimmick. Skepticism is in all of us. Go with your own gut, weigh the reviews with wisdom make your decision and use the product.I have not sent mine back and I wont. Since every individual responds differently to this product keep in mind you may not have the same results as mine or other claims. But you are the best judge of that. HOPE this helps you whatever you decide.

Actually the description is kind of deceptive. I just received and its only 25mg per 250mg capsule. So its 10% and if you want 50mg then you need to take 2 caps making it 45 servings of 50mg or 90 servings of 25mg. Still an ok deal.

The 30x would be stronger, I believe? That was the dosage I bought. I'm taking it right now, and I believe it really helps :)

Because this product is the chastetree berry extract which is concentrated vs. The other ones that say 400mg. Those other ones include the entire plant/flower in the pill. Therefore, its better to take the 40mg pill than the 400 mg. Hope that helps.

I never trust Dr Oz. I found out about this product on Facebook. Amazon was the highest quality with the lowest price so I thought I would try it. I commented on Amazon and the manufacturer contacted me and asked how I was taking it. He increased my dose and still have had NO weight loss. If you work out with intensity (free weights) you may not see a reduction in weight but a reduction in fat. This is my case, I am getting more defined but maintaining the same weight. I think this stuff is going to work different for everyone. I would say buy a couple of bottles and see what happens. As I said earlier, buy from Amazon, its the best price. I never trust Dr Oz.

Because 40mg is prescription strength. You would need a prescription from a medical Practitioner (MD, DO, ANP, FNP or PA). Further since 20mg are over-the-counter and 40mg requires a prescription these vendors would not be allowed to sell them. Years ago even 20mg Omeprazole was prescription strength. The FDA now allows Omeprazole as OTC but only in 20mg. Only your medical Practitioner can say if two 20mg would fit your needs.

I'm not the manufacturer but it appears that because the serving size is 2 capsules and recommended dosage is twice a day with 2 capsules that is the way they count it as 60mg. The bottom line for me is it's the only thing that lowered my cholesterol and triglycerides from dramatically high to normal.

Sorry, I've made a mistake on my previous statement. 2000 IU is equivalent to 50 micrograms not mg. That is already 10 times the recommended daily allowance. You should consult your doctor what he/she really means. There's no sense on 2000 mg.

There is no good reason. This is 50 mg per pill. The rest seem to be 12.5. I use this all the time and think this dosage was in short supply and someone may be taking advantage of the situation. There are other places much cheaper try breastcancerchoices.com

Each individual tablet is 450mg. Any larger mg. count would produce a pill too big for most folks to swallow whole I'm thinking. What did impress me is this supplier does put more tabs per bottle than any other similar product I've purchased. Most supplements only fill their bottle half full; this supplier fills it to close to 7/8's.

In truth...don't worry about it! I had the same "problem"...purchased both before it was all over...just get one and you'll have no problem. In truth, again, even medical doctors prescribing for humans do not know why the stuff works...but it appears to. FDA hasn't given it their "stamp of approval"...again, if it works, just use it. I say it seems to work...my "puppies" (7 & 10 yrs.) are not limping, have no problem with stairs, run without difficulty, etc. When you begin using this product, you give a larger amount for the first couple of weeks...then taper off. As with people, the amount given daily is according to weight of your dog/cat. In truth...don't worry about it!

I notice disclaimers on many supplement labels, as FDA & government entities do not evaluate them. However, there are massive numbers of pharmaceuticals that are run through almost instantaneous approval due to lobbying $$, and many of these drugs are harmful in so many ways. So, I have taken a variety of supplements that have helped me more than pharmaceuticals, approved by US lobbied agencies, ever have.

I don't see why not? I've read reviews were females report positive results using these type products, similar to males. Although these type products are generally geared toward males, females have smaller amounts of testosterone than males do obviously. There's no reason why females couldn't try these type supplements. Start with a half dose, with this product 1 capsule, see what it does, how it effects you, and if you feel comfortable with it or not enough, then try two, again to see how it works for you. Its not like your injecting or overusing real testosterone here. I say yes give it a try, rather pricey though. I don't see why not?
