Do you mean 5000mcg instead of 5000mg? My doctor recommends 5 mg per day. I believe that's equiv. to one 5000mcg tablet.

Well, I am glad someone asked the question because i was some what confused about it too. I have been taking 3-6 per day because i did the math wrong. Silly me..... Thanks for clearing this up for all of us. Also, i started taking this about 6 weeks ahead of my surgery (tomorrow) to try and slow down hair loss, because my hair already sheds heavily. Seems to be slowing it down some. Hope this heads off the post op hair loss. Stephanie
