Protocol FAQs
Start at 500mg once or twice daily with meals. Titrate up to 1,000–2,000mg/day over 4–6 weeks. Extended-release versions reduce GI side effects and can be taken once daily with dinner.
Always take with food, start low and go slow, and consider switching to extended-release formulation. Tracking which meals trigger symptoms with Shotlee helps identify your best timing.
