Question How do YOU define EFFECTIVE DOSE?
How do you define effective dose............. how do you judge what is an effective dose............... what do you base your answer to these questions on?

Answer in terms of products, or answer in terms of single ingredients. Please specify which you are discussing in your post.

Typically for single compounds I do a Google search using the chemical name and add recommended dose. Then search the multiple listings until I can see a pattern (average amount) for ED or EOD usage. This becomes my starting point. Example, DHEA: has recommendations as low as several mg up to hundreds, even Gram's ! The real low and high values I ignore and average out the rest. This is a statistical approach (again for my own starting point) Sometimes values obtained are checked against known medical websites to avoid overdose and/or complications like sevear side effects to stomach upset ect...sadly not enough formal clinical studies have been performed yet and substance quality can vary from brand to indivigual batch. Also, other variations will exist in products that contain a combination of compounds. This needs to be factored in and is delt by personal trial and error (change my username to LaB-rat) Thankfully, the feedback from the AM fourm helps make my decision on which items to experiment with.

Thanks, In regards to Drive I find the recommended dose to be perfect and really had a good effect (focus/energy/power)whail using just one bottle. The RPM was a little different, This formula gave me quite a lift/kick so I only took half the recommended dose. RPM would compliment anyone who WO first thing in the morning or when battling through a lethargic phase.

So................ if research shows it takes 500mg of an active ingredient to achieve results, and my 500mg maximum containing capsule has 15 ingredients in it: Did I achieve an efective dose?

Nope, hence some of inquiries lately. Some companies are releasing mixes without an effective dose of the needed compound.

Or any compound for that matter. LOL

Someone posted a label a few weeks back from a product that had 87 ingredients if I remember right. Hilarious.

Yeah, no shlt. Some are pointing fingers at product that seems to base their results on one compound. Even if that were true, and the results from that compound were as stated, how is that not successful? If you get an accurate dose of what is stated, and the results are there, I dont see the problem.

I think some could do better by simplifying their product, and only include what works, and leave the unnecessary filler out of the equation.

How bout replace "unnecessary filler" with something that would promote improved uptake/absorbtion.
