Help We've talked about sn dosing for larger people, but what about very small people?

[Moon Flower]

I'm 4'7/140cm and 75lbs/34kg (dwarfism) I was told before that 15g would be good for me, but other people have said that'd be excessive for my size. What are your thoughts?

Hi. 20-25g regular size.

I mean, too much is probably better than too little. In this situation I don't think the word overkill really applies.

But why? I'm not being argumentative, and I'm not just asking you, but in general -- I truly don't understand why throughout SS there is concern about taking too much SN, maybe I've overlooked some posts that scientifically explain it. But if that's the case, and OP is physically the size of a child, then wouldn't 10-15g make sense? Wouldn't more be overkill?

I guess what even is overkill in this situation? Will it kill you better? Probably not. There was a recent chart done I think on weight and dosage, might be able to find it through the search function or I've gone mad and dreamt it lol. I wouldn't say I'm concerned about someone taking too much, I just personally don't see the point in taking more than needed.

Posts I've read indicate that increasing the amount of SN increases the likelihood of vomiting. I don't know the basis for that reasoning.

I'm an average size, but maybe by looking at the "standard" recommendation and the recommendation for larger people we could work out a plausible g per kilo of body weight?

I made a lookup table here :
