Hi,
currently im search the courage to start with BO.
In the meantime i try to figure out how to start.
My Plan was to start with 1 of the pills and stay on the dose for 3 days.
Every 4th day i add one pill.
What is your recommendation?
Thx.

I am not an expert, and I am not sure what brand or mg strength of BO you are using so based on Swanson Bo glandular 250 mg caps, I would suggest starting with:
1-250 mg @ 5pm
1-250 mg @ bedtime or 9pm
Continue for 1 month or 30 days if well tolerated increase amount after month 1
Month 2
2-250 mg 5pm
2-250 mg bedtime or 9pm
Continue for 1 month or 30 days if well tolerated increase amount after month 2
3-250 mg 5pm
3-250 mg bedtime or 9pm
Continue for 1 month or 30 days if well tolerated increase amount after 3
4-250 mg 5pm
4-250 mg bedtime or 9 pm
There are other supplements that support BO taken at manufactures recommended amounts such as: DHEA, L-Tyrosine, D3/K2, MSM, iodine or kelp. These are building blocks for hormone production and body temp regulators.

Agree with tommi, a great starting regime.
Then maybe add a topical regime as this does help.
Good luck with whichever regime you choose.

That will be 2000 mg per day.....is there any known side effect?

Sadm,
The reason for the slow increase is to make sure there are no issues and if there are back off or discontinue. However the only negative side effects I am aware of that people have reported are, upset stomach, headache, or light headed.
It's good to remember, more is not always better, 2000mg is the upper end of BO intake, and as with any supplements, pay attention to your body, it will let you know if it doesn't like it.

thank you for the suggestion.
First thing I do, is taking a supplement break of 2 weaks, that should be enough to get all previous substances out of the liver
