50mg 3x a day, according to the study: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.124.32432...

Seems high to me, but I've never taken the drug. I assume most people take it just a few times a week for it's intended use? Is anyone aware of research that shows positive benefits to health at recreational doses?
