Hi TerrieP
Congrats on working out regularly. 1st, what does the label on your bottle say? Following directions never hurt
My bottle suggests 5 grams of powder (1 tsp) mixed in water. The fellow in the shop where I purchased it advised taking it after workouts & again before bed for best protein-sparing effect (sparing muscles) so that's 1 tsp x twice daily.
Marlaine (my BFL buddy) searched the net & came up with all sorts of interesting info, I'd suggest that you could search too. I believe that one can take up to 10 grams x 3 times daily maximum, although I would think that unless you have extremely long hard workouts you wouldn't need that much. Marlaine found lots of medical references - it is used to treat all sorts of illnesses and syndromes. When I get the time I'm going to search the net too, it sounded fascinating.
