• DOSAGE:

  Eagle Herbs is now supplying a 2 gram “little spoon”. (Please wash and dry before using.)

  An “average dose” is 10 grams per day of the granules or 20 capsules.

  A Big Dosage for Short-lived but intense issues: 3 little spoons (12 capsules) twice a day.

  A Smaller Dosage for Lingering low-grade concerns: 2 little spoons (8 capsules) twice a day.

  If you are very sensitive to medicines: start out low (1/2 little spoon or 2 capsules) once per day, and raise the dosage each day.

  We find that people find the right dosage for themselves: what feels good for them and they get the results they are looking for.

Your order will last approximately this long:

• 100 grams powder (capsules or powder): 8 to 25 days
• 200 grams powder (powder only): 19 to 56 days
