Determining Dosage/Calculating Doses: You have a friend who has decided to use EnerGee!, a drink that claims to boost and sustain energy levels for 24 hours, to get herself going in the morning.

Each capsule weighs 0.75 g 1. Calculate the human dose per day for the EnerGee!, assuming your friend weighs 70 kg. 2. Now calculate the dose per kg of body weight per day. 3. One of the components of EnerGee! is taurine, an amino acid that purportedly helps sustain energy levels. Each capsule is 2% taurine. What is the dose of taurine your friend is ingesting per day?
