You can always go with 1 cap before bed, which is what I do.
What is your days-like dosing protocol?

I do 7 caps per day...2 morning, 2 early afternoon, 2 preworkout, and 1 pre bed.

What time do you workout? Does working out or your pre workout effect your sleep?
Gotcha.Generally around 5pm. Doesn't mess with my sleep at all.
Are you sensitive to fucoxanthin?

Some people can have sleep problems from Carnitine too close to bed.Why would DCP or Brite cause sleep problems?
Guys, I have purchased straight capsaicin powder and used it in my own mixes. I can tell you, I've taken as much as 15-20 mg at a time. Anything over 10 mg of capsaicin and I'm in trouble gut wise. I will be on the toilet, sick feeling, and not able to do anything about it. I don't get warm from it, or notice anything else - but that doesn't mean it wasn't working, just that I couldn't tolerate it.
I also can barely notice the Brite heat. Sometimes I get waves of heat when I'm on Brite, but it isn't consistent for me like with others - but it definitely has an effect.
Capsaicin is actually, IMO, a great ingredient that has been well studied and has shown effects in appetites suppression and fat loss - but tolerance is an obvious issue - this is why everyone is always looking for analogs of capsaicin that aren't pungent (steroyl vanillamide, 6-paradol, gingerols, etc).
Matt is using mixed capsaicinoids, so they may be less upsetting than straight capsaicin, but 10 mg is a big dose that shouldn't be scoffed at. The mix may be less upsetting to the stomach and allow for higher dosing with more effect and less side effects, but it's just a hefty dose (which I am happy about).
And this is from someone who tolerates spicy foods very well, has handled straight capsaicin without a mask or gloves, etc. (which I wouldn't advise - it did effect me, but it didn't incapacitate me) I'm actually pretty tolerant, but over 10 mg, and my bowels just can't take it. And it usually takes 1-2 hours for the worst part to hit after I take it.
To give you another idea of how powerful capsaicin is - if I am in my kitchen weighing out 10 mg of it, my gf will start coughing UPSTAIRS in our bedroom. Just a small amount in the air, and you will know it is there.
that must be it because the top of my stomach burns every time I take it im going to try and space out the doses today and see if it helps because two at a time is not working for me stomach wise. Ive tried sipping a little protein, extra water, rice cakes, even peanut butter and I get like a heart burn feeling with it when I take it with food.
Anyone else having problems lower stomach to balls lmao. That's what it feels like at leas.t happens about an hour after I take it. Don't know if it is this but I just started it and it has happened both days
1. Generally, the AMPk activation from DCP isn't going to be potent enough to cripple your protein synthesis, and the benefits of taking pre-workout given the prevalence of PPAR-delta in muscle cells, a preworkout dose is recommended.
2. With or without food doesn't matter much here, but if I had to lean towards a recommendation you should at least have a little something in your stomach.
I will be going to the 1 pill spaced out myself. I hope it doesnt take too long to get used to. The DCP/Brite combo has me feeling hot AF, however the capsicum dose is too much for me to handle.
Does this protocol apply to the last formula as well? Just found a bottle stashed away in the cupboard and thought I would use this one while I wait to get the newest version.
Yes.
I've gone up to 8 caps a day only side is sweating a ton, guess I'm lucky!
OMG, ewww gross!

Like I said, for me 10 mg or two pills is the limit. I have a feeling dsade knew what he was doing with this dosing. He should have called this DCP Hardcore Sh1t.
In my experience it takes about 45 minutes for issues to hit and then about 1 hour to clear. So once you can tolerate 2 at a time, dosing every 4 hours even won't be an issue.

While it's always n option to go higher than label recommendation, I always try to make sure that you don't have to to get a full, and potent , dose of all ingredients.
Anything else just seems to strike me as dishonest.

Yes, I definitely didn't mean to imply that either. 30 mg a day of capsaicin is as high as I've seen in any product except maybe I think EBF had something back in the day.
Oh, I didn't take it that way at all, just making sure everyone realizes that going higher than the recommended dose isn't at all necessary to reap full effects.
also got the capsicasum burning.
having it with food seems to help slightly.
will likely drop back to 1 cap in order to function at a normal state lol, yesterday i took some prior to cardio and it was a challenge, couldn't imagine if i threw a pre-workout in the mix too! lol
Cap has never really hit me like that, luckilyReap the full benefits if 50 mg/day of capsaicin? You could sell a million of these at that dose. Guaranteed to lose 3 pounds in the first 2 days! (On the toilet)

Word to the wise make sure you drink enough water when you take DCP before cardio I just burped it up and it came out my nose ...I felt like a dragon shooting out fire LOL
Sorry if this has been asked/answered, but how would I dose if I only eat "once" per day? I basically do a version of the warrior diet, where I fast all day and eat from about 7-9 p.m. I consume all of my calories within that 2 hour window.
Bump? Probably not a lot of input as my eating habits are pretty unusual. I have a strong stomach (all of my supplements are taken on an empty stomach) so I'll probably pull the trigger and try 1-2 caps at a time spaced out, with my last 2 coming before my feeding window
