There is no universal “right dose.” There’s only your dose, and finding it is a method, not a guess. That method is titration — small steps, patient timing, honest notes. Here’s the exact process.
Why Titration Beats Guessing
Body weight, metabolism, food, tolerance, and even mood shift how a serving lands. A chart can’t account for any of that; your own notes can. Titration turns your first weeks into useful data instead of trial and error.
Step 1: Start at the Floor
Begin with the smallest serving: half a 55mg starter can = 5mg. One serving that day. Nothing else.
Step 2: Log Everything
Date, time, serving, setting, and a simple 1–5 scale: felt nothing / barely noticed / noticeable / strong / too much. Ninety seconds of journaling; the payoff is a personal map.
Step 3: Step Up in Small Increments
Every 2–3 days, adjust by one step — half a 55mg can → a full 55mg can → half a 100mg MIT can → a full 100mg can. Never jump. If a step feels strong, return to the previous one; that’s your floor.
Step 4: Find the Flat Spot
Your sweet spot is where the response curve flattens — the serving where “more” stops adding benefit and only adds side effects. Typically it’s 2–3 steps below “too much.” This is the zone you aim for in daily use.
Step 5: Lock It In With Structure
Fixed serving, fixed timing, days off per week, and no escalation. Your sweet spot is a discovery, not a treadmill.
Tools That Make It Easy
- A measuring glass for half servings — partial serving guide.
- A notebook or phone memo for the log.
- The chart on this page as a starting reference.
When in Doubt
Smaller is always better. You can take more later; you can’t untake it. New here? Start with the 55mg starter can, and keep the FAQ library a bookmark away.
