You are taking: 300 mg × 4 capsules = 1200 mg/day This is on the higher side for long-term use at age 67 Ideal dose 300–600 mg, twice daily So reduce to: 1 capsule morning + 1 capsule evening (after food) How to take for best effect Take with warm milk or water (improves absorption & calming effect) Night dose helps sleep + memory consolidation Continue for 3–6 months for Rasayana benefit
