The dose of LDN needed differs between people due to individual metabolic rates. Whilst 4.5mg works for most adults, the dose should definitely be adjusted according to body weight. For an adult, the optimal dose ranges between 2.5mg and 10mg daily, and for a child it would need to be adjusted accordingly.
