Recommended Dosage
There is currently no official consensus on the recommended dosage of astragalus. However, it is typical to take anywhere from 9 to 30 grams per day. This herb is available in many forms, such as liquid extracts, capsules, or powder. Below are the recommended oral dosages of astragalus for treating specific medical conditions:
– Blood sugar management: from 40 to 60 grams in 4 months
– Congestive heart failure: from 2 to 7.5 grams of astragalus powder two times a day in one month
– Seasonal allergies: 80 milligrams of astragalus extract in capsules two times a day in 6 weeks
– Chronic fatigue syndrome: 30 grams of decoction in combination with other herbs
– Kidney disease: from 7.5 to 15 grams of astragalus powder two times per day in 6 months
Studies have shown that it is completely safe for most individuals to take up to 60 grams of astragalus orally on a daily basis. However, more research is needed to find out the safety of this plant in the long term. [9]
