If I take aspartic acid, how much should I take?

Adults (18 years and older):

• Clinical dosing from single-ingredient aspartic acid is currently unavailable. Aspartates are salts of aspartic acid that include potassium and magnesium aspartates. Secondary sources report that potassium or magnesium aspartates are normally taken in doses of 7-12 grams over 24 hours for an unknown duration. Aspartic acid may be taken up to three times daily with juice or water, without protein.

• For use as an exercise performance enhancement, manufacturer reports indicate that 4-8 grams of aspartic acid during the 24-hour period before an athletic event may increase athletic capacity.

• For the treatment of fatigue, 250 milligrams of potassium and 250 milligrams of magnesium aspartate has been taken daily by mouth for an unknown duration.
