Dr. Oz recommends 1600 mgs per day. I have been taking 3 capsules 3 times a day for 4500 mgs per day. Will such a high dosage cause side effects?

PS The outer bottle calls for 4500 mgs a day for weight loss, so I had no reason to think I was taking too much. I doubt 1500 a day would do very much

I haven't heard of any side effects but more is not always better. It varies person to person but I would stick with the clinically proven 1600mg per day. Anymore than that and you're throwing money away.

YES!!! I was casually taking that much and more and just yesterday I went through the most horrible side effects, so that I can no longer take it all. It can cause lactic acidosis, which you can look up, and terrible stomach pains. It was working great for me, but then yesterday I thought I was going to die. Be very cautious!

I have generally taken 3000 mgs per day. 3x500 first thing in the morning again mid-afternoon. I have had some stomach rumblings but nothing all that painful. I am not in the medical field, so I cannot speak to any side-effects from that perspective. I definitely have more energy all the time - along with that, the only side-effect I've noticed is not being ready to go to sleep. I find that I don't really wind down. I run along for a long time and then crash. I sleep for a few hours and then I'm up and going again. I haven't had this kind of energy in so long that I'm just dealing with it. Getting a lot of stuff done at all hours of the day and night!! I have lost approximately 40 pounds in the few months I've been taking this. I am also keeping a food diary and cutting carbs, so this won't do it alone. Take this, eat sensibly and be more active. It's a winning combination!

Each capsule is 1000mg and the recommended dosage is 1 3 times a day for a total of 3000mg. Hope that helps.

Yes. Each capsule is 500 mg. The label suggests to take 3 capsules per day.

The first 3 posters answered "YES", however, that is NOT an answer. I bought this thinking it was one pill daily, but it is 3 pills/serving. So to answer the question, THREE capsules=1000mg.

40 mg. and the capsules are easy to take. The recommendation is 2 a day, but after the first week I took one a day.

4 capsules but I only take one a day, it still has over 100%DV of must vitamins at that dosage. Sometimes I take a second one if I haven't been feeling well but I space them out, otherwise they make me nauseous.

Must be an error, 2500mg is waaaaay too much. Serving size on my packet is 100mg, usually 100-150 mg a day is a good dose.

I take 3 in the morning and 3 when I get home at night. I never found out the recommennded dosage. But 6 a day Works for me.

Hi, you must take 6 pills a day and that amounts to 6000 MGS. I take 3 in AM 30 minutes before breakfast and 3 30 minutes before dinner. I have noticed a difference in my nails and my hair seems to have to be cut more often now. I hope this helps you. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

According to my research, 400 to 800 mg per day. So, that's one or two capsules. I take two.

The suggestion is for one (1) serving per day. The Dr. told my husband he needed a 500 mg dose, based on a blood test result, so I would suggest you ask your doc what dose you should be taking.

No where on the bottle is a recommendation for "up to two a day." The dosage under "Suggested Use" is "One caplet one time daily or as advised by your health care provider." The caplets have 50 mg of Rauwolfia serpentine. I've seen comments referring to 100 mg twice daily. That is NOT recommended and is reckless. This is a strong supplement--follow the recommendation as noted on the bottle.

Quantity for each supplement? Doesn't say per pill. Personally I don't care, I couldn't walk now I can and I have no pain. Started taking 3 pills per day now after 3 months I only take 2 per day. The pills contain healthy things. Give it time and you will see results. Good Luck.

I am pretty sure the 180 you take twice a day and the 400 you take 3 times a day, so they should be the same dosage in a day. Correct me if I'm wrong!

It says take 3 capsules once daily with food and water. I take all 3 with breakfast.

Oops, I made a typo in my response...sorry. It should have been 600 mg three times a day, not 800. My bad.

The suggested dosage is 1 to 2 softgels per day. It is important to note for the enthusiastic supplement taker that the FDA has found that the level of Omega-3 should not exceed 3 grams per day. The dosage here is well under that extreme.
