One of the most frequently asked questions that we receive from our customers is about the dosage for each type of ginseng. Below is some information explaining how much ginseng you should take and what is the best time during the day to consume it.
Korean Ginseng
Root
The dosage of crude root recommended for adults lies between 1 and 3 grams once daily during morning hours and before breakfast/ before eating anything.
Powder
One can take 1- 3 grams (equivalent to 1 tsp.) daily. Just mix it with warm water then drink as tea. You can add it to shakes or smoothies if desirable.
Avoid taking it at night since Asian ginseng is highly stimulating and can at times occasion sleeplessness.
