What is a good dose for betaine? You know the 5 grams a day or the 3.2 grams of betaine. I can't find much information on betaine outside of a few doctors but they're not in sports nutrition.

2.5-5 grams is what I see most dose. I personally go with 3 grams.

I am personally running 4g a day. With a small amount extra PWO.
If you not feeling the burn your not pushing hard enough.

Well then that must be the best way take, no doubtOriginally Posted by Justin93
Though I believe the studies done with betaine used 2.5g. Tons of great info here -> http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=156426103Last edited by DGarcia519; 08-26-2014 at 08:14 PM. Reason: Mixed up dosing.

I am not aware of any study using 3.2 g. You may be confusing this dosage with beta alanine.Originally Posted by DGarcia519

Damn. Now I feel dumb. You're right, I had them completely mixed up for some reason. Thanks for pointing that out.Originally Posted by Synapsin

No worries. Interestingly, one of the authors of the betaine study indicated doses beyond 2.5 grams are most likely beneficial (within reason), but they didn't evaluate that in their study.Originally Posted by DGarcia519
