Question regarding mg on my soy bottle please clarify for me.

[Boymomsrock]

Mine says 750 mg where it says soy germ isoflavones concentrate. Then under that it says standardized to contain 3% isoflavones, 23 mg and 3% saponins, 23 mg. So does this mean each capsule is equivalent to 23 mgs? I'm a tad confused! So should I take 2-3?

[Boymomsrock]

Nobody?

Shoot I'm no help...but anxious to see if anyone has any advice. I just had a look at my bottle which says "soy isoflavone concentrate 150mg providing 40% total isoflavones 60mg". I've been taking 3 a day for the last 3 cycle days. I had just assumed you go with the total, but I could be wrong?

[Boymomsrock]

I'm thinking mine are each only 23 mgs so I probably need to take 4-5?

[The Anchor]

Yes, the recommendation is 100 - 200 mg, all at once (like not spread out during the day). I would say start with 5...

I took 200mg the 5 cycles I was on it. I had a couple of different brands but had to take 5-6 pills in order to get to the right dosage. I agree with Anchor, take 5-6.

Since that's so much higher than the typical dose you see sold, I think it's the 23 mg soy dose you should use. I would only take 2 personally - no more than that.

[cravingsalt]

Really? I thought I read 100-200mgs so I took almost 200mgs. Hm...may have been on another site. Oops. Well, I can tell you that it was well tolerated- never had many side effects, just o'd a few days sooner and a little ovulation pain.

It's double the amount of Clomid - so 200 mg soy is equal to 100 mg Clomid. Most people don't need any more than 50 mg Clomid and some peopel even do 25, since soy is a lot less regulated and controlled than Clomid and could potentially be stronger than we expect,, I think it may be best for people to start off small and build from there rather than taking a huge dose and ending up with quintuplets LOL.

Plus, since I am not totally sure WTH is going on with that soy dose I think less is better in this case, just in case it is some wackily high doe.

Haha oh great! I took 5 today! Maybe I'll just skip it this mOnth!
