My capsuls are 100mg. I take one in the morning and 1 at night. I agree they are expensive. I had a coupon for half off at my local vitamin store, so I used it on these. If it continues to help, I am willing to spend the money. I been on this for almost a year (with a 3 month "recess" over summer vaction.) I have only lost 35 pounds so I am a very slow loser.
