Right Dosage

The right dosage for treatment of various medical conditions is dependent on various factors such as the age of the patient, level of health problem, and prevailing climatic conditions. There is no proper human-based testing scientific recommendation about its dosage and all the medicinal plants are not always safe for regular consumption. Some animal-based research has shown that a daily dose of 200 mg for a 50 kg person is safe and does not cause any problems. Its optimal use at low dosage is always safe but higher doses may cause mutations. Therefore, it is important to follow instructions provided by a physician.
