750mg caplets (good on the go - I take these on hiking trips! or when traveling, for convenience) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GW9L9E/

bulk powder (I just toss and wash... lmao, the irony. 1/2 tsp = 749mg) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H4HXK5E/

500mg DPA (no L-PA, just the D - more ideal for nighttime, sometimes I take it during a gym workout to keep my endorphins going longer, time it for about an hour before chugging my protein shake) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001TNQKLA

As for when to take it, they're amino acids that compete for absorption with protein. So I've found lately that it works best if I take my 1/2 tsp (about 750mg) right when I wake up, then give an hour before I make my morning smoothie (which contains a lot of protein, along with veggies, fruit, ground flaxseed, oats, basically a ton of superfoods) and/or eat breakfast. Seems to work a lot better when I'm intentional about making sure I can absorb it best. Again, ironically sounds like kratom usage, except the results are exactly the opposite! =) I usually do 750mg in the morning, maybe a 2nd dose before the gym (or do the DPA before finishing the workout), and a DPA at night. I also take week long breaks once in a while.
​
So tl;dr better to take it on an emptier stomach, and timed away from any protein intake. But if you don't have time, just take it lol.
​
Also, I've taken 1.5-2g doses before, and I'm not sure it made a difference. I seem to get the best results from 750mg-1g. This goes for all supplements these days, I don't really double up on anything anymore.
​
Hope it works for you!
