I just got my bottle of OL Cardar1ne, and I'm torn as to how I want to take it. Most threads I've read recommend taking a dose pre-workout, and the half-life is 20-24hrs and wouldn't need to be split up through the day.
I like to split up my doses of most things to keep them active all day and all night, but I also want to get the full effect during my workout.
Cardar1ne comes in 7mg caps, and many sources cite 20mg being a very reasonable daily dosage.
If I split the doses per label suggestions, I would get 7mg for my workout and 7mg later in the day.
Is the endurance effect dose-dependent? If so, it would seem wise to take the full dose PWO, like this:
14mg (2 caps) in the morning, pre-workout.
Followed by;
7mg (1 cap) 12 hours later
For a total of 21mg.
Would I see a notable difference between that and a 7/7 split? Getting 50% more out of a bottle sounds good to me, but it's inexpensive enough that I could justify a 14/7 split if I would see proportionately better results and endurance.
That also brings up another question: should I avoid taking it within a certain time before bed? While I have read that it is non-stimulatory, the notion of greatly increased energy and metabolism makes me think I may be too ramped up to get to sleep just from my own energy production.
Thank you! I appreciate your opinions and information.
