Men generally take 3-5mg daily, at percentage weight the average woman "per the book" should take around 3mg/day. When I cycled I took about 1mg/day... 1/2 am and 1/2 pm with my split dose Clen cycle. I find taurine capsules generally come in 500mg capsules. I still had painful cramps so if I were to do it again I would have taken 3 capsules in the AM and 3 capsules early afternoon.
