This is a tricky one with most cases I could find not actually documenting how much people were taking. With some cases mentioning people taking 500+mg, it's hard to tell how much causes problems. The original threshold was set by basically "we haven't seen issues with under 500mg, so set it to half that - 250mg it is".

Btw, if you take more than 100mg, the serum level will easily go out of range for usual labs. (400+ nmol)
