“Yes it might be. This is the dose our doctor recommended. Kids can have anywhere between 50-400mg when dealing with migraines. It’s not fat soluble but water soluble. Body will eliminate through urine anything it does not use.”
U/SPIRIT_MEAWAY ↗“My mom can’t swallow pills, so she buys the capsules. She pops them open and puts them in a smoothie every day. Could be a solution!”
U/FINANCIAL_OSTRICH_56 ↗“I think 400mg is what my neuro recommended for me as an adult…”

Add context that might help others — skin type, conditions like PCOS, what you'd tried before. The more specific, the more useful.
