200 mg taken with three meals a day for a total of 600 mg per day is the most often agreed upon amount to be effective for helping to keep carbs from turning into stored fat. 100 mg per day is just fine for the purpose of general antioxidant. The safety issue has not been clearly established insofar as how much to take. Personally, if I take more than 200 mg with any meal, I get acid indigestion. If I take it between meals I get low blood sugar and have a hard time staying awake. So generally, if you want it to prevent fat, then do the 200mg with three meals for the effective dose. Making sure that you're only taking it when eating carbs as well as making sure not to take it on an empty stomach is the sensible way to go without any negative side effects. |
