Hey guys, I am not new to MAG-10, just haven’t responded any better to two doses (12caps old formula) than I have 6 caps daily. I am thinking of trying to split the single dose over the course of the day. I lift 5 days a week at noon (lunch). I was thinking of either going with a 3 caps in the morning (9am) and 3 caps around 5pm, or a 2 caps with every meal split. From everyone elses experiences, which would be better? Or maybe there is an altogether better plan than those two options. Thanks in advance guys!
I think either one of your choices would be fine and probably even preferred. I believe Cy Wilson adressed something similar to this in one of the product threads. They don’t tell you to do that on the label because it’s harder for most people to remember to take them that way. The less times you have to take something, the more likely you are to take it. I know I’m that way. I can take something twice a day but I can never remember to take something three times a day.
Cy monitors the product threads mostly. Try addressing him in one of the MAG-10 Legacy treads to get an answer from him but I believe his take is that it is actually better to spread out the dosage.
Here is a couple posts by Cy in the MAG-10 Legacy thread.

Cy: If one were going to double the dose of Legacy to 10 caps/day, what dosing protocol would theoretically yield the best results? 2 caps 5 times per day? Should their be a “loading” phase to get blood levels high at the start?
I personally would go with 4 capsules in the AM, 3 in the afternoon and 3 at night.
A loading phase isn’t necessary when taking that amount

Cy,
I’m planning on taking 5 capsules of MAG-10 a day for a 2 week cycle.
Should I take them all at once with breakfast, or should I split them up into two doses, say 3 with breakfast and 2 in the early afternoon?
Would a higher number of capsules a day, say 8 or even 10, make an enormous difference?
Technically speaking, it’s best to split the dosage up as much as possible. In this case, what you’ve described is just fine, although I’d take the last two capsules in the early evening.
Many have found that doubling the dosage has resulted in greater results. I don’t see much benefit in going beyond 10 capsules per day, though.

Dear Cy,
Was just wondering if this is true with the original MAG-10. Currently, I am taking 12 capsules; 6 in the morning and 6 about 8 hours later. Do you recommend splitting up the dosage equally throughout the day? Or it doesn’t really matter?
Thanks man

I’d go with either 3 capsules, 4 times daily or 4 capsules, 3 times daily, spread evenly over the day. For example, breakfast, lunch and dinner. This isn’t to say that you’re not going to get great results if you take 6 capsules twice daily, though. I’m merely saying it’s a bit better in terms of keeping blood levels consistently higher over a given period of time.
