Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 , No, 3 grams a day is what I had read was a realistic dose for pain and that is what i have been taking.. and it helps. I have taken it off and on for a long time, not for pain, just as a supplement - and also much less.. less than 500 mg/day. But the pain I had this week was very bad and I was desperate to find anything that would address it. On 4/7/07, mhbarnes_99 <mary.h.barnes@...> wrote: > > How much is alot?
