    Adults (18 years and older):

    Various doses of amylase inhibitors have been studied but no dose has been proven effective. Typically, 1,500-6,000 milligrams of amylase inhibitors has been used before meals.

    For diabetes, 4-6 grams has been used for up to seven days. For weight loss, a dose of 3,000 amylase inhibitor units from Phase 2® (white kidney bean derived amylase inhibitor) has been used daily for 30 days. A dose of 1,500 milligrams Phase 2® has been used twice daily for eight weeks without effect.
