What's the Recommended Dosage for Herbal Formulas?

Generally, the recommended formula dosage for an adult is 9 grams per day, but any final decision should be made based on a trained healthcare practitioner's analysis.

We recommend splitting the dosage into two or three servings per day.  If taken twice a day, each serving size is 5 grams.  If taken three times a day, each serving should be 3 grams. Each measuring spoon included with Treasure of the East granules holds 1.5g.

Weight and age also affect dosage, and you can use the following table to identify the suggested dosage for patients based on age and weight:

1-2 30-40 lbs 0.6 - 0.8 grams 1.0 - 1.4 grams
