Based on rat studies, doses of 50mg/kg and 1,000mg/kg appear to increase testosterone while the higher dose is associated with some liver toxicity. Due to this, the estimated human doses based off of 50mg/kg would be:
550mg for a 150lb person
700mg for a 200lb person
900mg for a 250lb person
Due to having no human evidence at this moment in time, the above recommendations are naught but estimates.
