caveat emptor
Royal jelly is the rarest of the products of a hive. As a result there is a higher incidence of quality problems and a lot more crooks involved. Since it is unregulated, the only defense is to deal with reputable companies. I'm using NOW brand. 500 mg of a 3 to 1 concentrate equivalent to 1500 mg of raw product. I have been taking one in morning and one in evening but I may cut that in half over the next few days.
It is now 9:45 PM. Normally I would have had meds on a two hour schedule with the final at 8:00 PM. Also, the pattern of the last week would have had me Off an hour or more at mid-day and I would be Off by now for the evening.
Instead, I have had no Offs since this morning and I have had no meds since 6:00 PM. I'm expecting an Off but haven't felt it coming yet.
I have had a mild dyskinesia of the sort that comes with too much medication. Tomorrow I will try to cut the dose back a little and see if that takes care of that.
