Crystal density is not a stable characteristic, but the bulk product I have claims 1 teaspoon is 4000 mg.
The only way I know of to get a decent "standard dose" size from a bulk purchase is to take a new bottle of product, and determine the volume of the whole container full, in a measuring cup or some such. If measured in mL, you can then do a ratio with the total mass, and get a reasonable mass/volume relationship.
> I didn't notice a boost until I took this higher amount. I feel more evened out, more energy and started sleeping better too.
Too much makes me insomnic. Go figure.
> I'm still taking 500 mg of tyrosine as I think I need that for my thyroid if nothing else.
That's a reasonable amount for thyroid maintenance.

Just be alert to changes in responsiveness to dose. You may well need to tweak, or take occasional breaks. You'll get a gut reaction thing going, over time.
