From everything that I have read: Our bodies can only take in 500mg at a time. The rest is peed out, so to take more is a waste of money!

Im not fifty, but it didn't work for me. At all. I took it for 3 months, double dose, with zero results. I honestly wonder if most of these reviews are fake. I bought it based off of those and then had no results at all.

Hi Gerald,I use about half the recommended amount and it gives my system more energy. I do not feel jittery or feel like I had a caffine overload, or feel superhuman or anything. Half of the recommedation seems to work well with me. I try and work out 3-4 days a wek (minimum), and it keeps me going. I ran out before I recordered, I noticed an energy level drop. It seems to work well with my routine. It gives me just a little constant energy boost so when I need it I am ready for my workout. Hope this help. P.S. I never tried the full recommended amount. If I felt that half wasn't enough then I would have increased the amount, but half works fine for me. Take care. Hi Gerald,I use about half the recommended amount and it gives my system more energy.

Very few people need 5,000 IU and bought it only because of all the great reviews on the site, there were many people who liked the high dosage. I had a strange reaction, just felt off for a few days so I went down to 1,000 IU (I had to buy another bottle, these are liquid gel pills), which my doctor said was all that was needed and she was correct. I might build up to 5,000 someday, but not sure if it is needed, a check up or lab report is a good idea but it is very expensive. I would buy the 5,000 IU at your own risk, not a comfortable feeling if you are sensitive to it.

If you are new to the product, you should check out the truehope website first. If I recall, you should start with a "loading dose" that is far higher, for several months, than the "maintenance dose" that people settle down to once their symptoms improve AND they have made changes (almost always lower - under doctor's supervision of course) in their prescription meds. These are no minor details if you or a loved one are suffering from a mental health condition. I would not experiment with this on my own. The web site offers phone and internet counseling to help, and I believe that is part of the higher price charged by them for the same stuff when you order it off their website...hope that helps you and anyone else reading this!

Any form of time release medication should not be cut. It defeats the time release purpose. Consider buying a 500 or 750 microgram dose. Which would be .5 and .75 mg resepectively.

12.5 mg. I don't remember ever seeing a 50 available when I researched this.

Thats not important buddy...quit taking your other supplement or half the dosage and take these bad boys...i only take 3 instead of the recommended 4 and it gives me an ltra pump in reps....i can keep going but i know ill need my arms and legs the next day....

I take a really small dose too, because it acts like a sleeping pill over dose to me (at the full strength). my naturopath said I'm REALLY deficient. Her recommendation was to take a small amount, building up to get the desired results.

Physician on Dr Oz said higher doses could be taken with your doctor's permission. What's the highest dosage, I've lost my recording of that show.

Sounds like a hefty dose to me....please heed the instructions. Better to undertreat at first.

Yes, this is normal. Please follow instruction carefully and stay within the prescribed dose.

I have been taking the 500ppm but it says on the label that you can only take it for 14 days at that dosage. It's not designed to be an everyday supplement.

I took 3 pills every other day, so it lasted me a while, more then a month. You won't take the full dose because it's too much. Start with one box and go from there, your body may or may not accept it, and you don't want to waste money.

I'd suggest trying it on a weekend & leaving..maybe coming back every hour or two. When I use it for T-storms, they don't usually last all day & if I give them for getting to sleep, once they're asleep, the hard work's done. You might have to play with the dosages, too. Sorry can't be more helpful.
