How is that an enormous dose? The recommendation is 2x200mg every 4-6h. When doing competitive athletics, I probably took 1-3g of “vitamin I” a day.

600mg a day is barely above a single dose.

>How is that an enormous dose?

600mg is over half a gram of pure active ingredient.

Namely isobutylphenylpropionic acid, a cheap commodity product.

This material is not non-toxic and different people will succumb at different levels of lethality to different doses over different periods of time.

Not long ago I lost a friend to liver and kidney failure attributed by her final doctor as due to the 800mg daily recommended by her previous physician over a few year period.

What were you taking it for? Pain reduction? (Curious, no judgement, trying to understand if there was any other reason)

It's an anti-inflammatory. Helps with all kinds of things - sore muscles, tooth aches - it's not really pain relief so much as it is things-that-cause-pain relief.
