That's actually a reasonable amount, comparable to what your body normally produces.

I can't understand why all the OTC pills seem to come in doses of 3-5 mg. It's really unnatural and probably messes with your system.

Did you find pills with your 500 ug dose? Or do you cut them or use volumetric dosing?
