Re: Lisa D

400 mgs but you have to work up to that amount. For example, for a couple of days take 50 at breakfast and 50 at lunch. Then take 100 at breakfast and 50 at lunch ( also for a couple of days). Then 100 breakfast, 100 lunch and so on. You can try dinner but it makes some people too perky to sleep. When you get to 400 you can decide if you want to split the dose or just take it all at once.
