I'm confused why everyone keeps thinking 1-2 capsules is the right amount for everything. It would be a lucky coincidence if it were. But actually you have to look up the amount for everything. Oh and find studies or another official source. Avoid getting this info from labels, un-sourced articles or people's guesses or it'll just say 1 or 2 capsules because that's what sounds right to everyone else who they want to please.
HGH studies use about 6,000 mg L-arginine and 1,000 mg of the others. But you're likely to get diarrhea from that amount unless you spread it out well. It's easier to get from your diet by eating meat and nuts. And if for some reason you did want 500 mg L-arginine, that's in about 1 oz. of meat. Since you need less of the other aminos they're easier to get from food.
For fenugreek or shatavari about 1,000-1,500 mg is the amount where it is too little to have any effect at all. By pure coincidence that is the right amount of vitex though. For herbs you can avoid taking a lot of pills by finding good strong extracts. Or you can also soak fenugreek seeds in water to soften and snack on them like a food instead of acting like they're a drug.
