What is the recommended daily dose for Red Panax Ginseng?!
Question:
What is the recommended daily dose for Red Panax Ginseng?
I am considering taking this type of ginseng for fatigue but the box I have of 30 tinctures, 10 ml each. I am worried because the strength is 4500 mg. The box recommends for you to take one a day, before bed or in the morning. Has anyone had any experience with ginseng? I hear taking gensing while drinking green tea may be pointless. Some of the literature that I have found online recommends one to take only 100 to 200 mg per day. Any thoughts?

Answers:
Dosage: Select a product that is standardized to contain at least 7% ginsenosides.
For general health and combating fatigue: Take 100 to 250 mg Panax ginseng once or twice a day.
To support the body in times of stress or during recovery from an illness: Take 100 to 250 mg twice a day.
Guidelines for use - Start at the lower end of the dosage range and increase your intake gradually. Some experts recommend that you stop taking ginseng for a week every two or three weeks and then resume your regular dose. In some cases, ginseng may be rotated with other immune-stimulating herbs, such as astragalus or Siberian ginseng.
