Dosage
Dosage will depend on a number of factors including tolerance, gender and how it’s taken. This is a guide only.
Recommended dose = 50mg + your bodyweight in kilos
E.g. if you weigh 70kg the recommended dose is 50 + 70 = 120mg
If you are going to re-dose, it should be no more than half the original dose and be taken 2-3 hours in.
