Most adults follow the package directions: 25–50 mg by mouth each 4–6 hours, staying under 6 doses in 24 hours.

Most adults do well with 1–2 servings daily, then adjust based on stool comfort, water intake, and the serving size listed on the product label.

Most adults land between 300–600 mg per day, split with meals, then stick with one dose long enough to judge results.
