Reaching for additions usually signals that the actual goal has drifted to something KLOW does not target (fat loss, GH-axis effects, cognition), in which case the right move is a purpose-built protocol for that goal, not a heavier KLOW
If the patient is critically ill, or has neurologic disease, an infectious disease or hyperthyroidism, considerably higher doses may be indicated
