the stuff i get from tp is 2grams per level teaspoon but its consistency can vary from time to time. Def worth the twenty for the scale. most supp labels on powders i have found were off by quite a bit.

How so? The highest dose I use is 5grams in a day.

I get tingling in my skin all over my body even my scalp tingles from anything more than a level Tsp. Even with a level tsp I get tingling in my fingers. Stuff helps me sleep like a baby though, and I wake up feeling well rested.

Anyone first trying it should DEFINITELY work UP to the 5g dose. The effects mentioned can be very intense for some individuals.

It definitely works, though.

Start with 1-2g dose, and work your way up.

To directly answer the question related to teaspoons, etc., I honestly don't know. What I DO know is how I do it 'when I don't know'.

I take a measuring spoon I THINK it might be, get my scale, and see how many grams it is.

If you don't have a scale that can show grams, then I'm sure it's on a conversion chart somewhere. I'll dig it up for you.

According to two online conversion sites for weights and measures I just checked, 1 teaspoon = 4.929 grams.

I'd start with 1/2 teaspoon and see how it affects you.

IMO, start with 500mg and work up IF needed.
