I've been looking into astragalus as I found a bottle of it lying around - but i'm not seeing much consistency among sources in how to dose it.
Here on examine they explain:
"Astragalus membranaceus and Angelicae Sinensis are highly synergistic, meaning they are more powerful when taken together. This combination is traditionally called Dang-gui buxue tang.
The standard dose for Dang-gui buxue tang is 30g of Astragalus membranaceus root paired with 6g of Angelicae sinensis. This is a 5:1 ratio, which is ideal for extracting the bioactive ingredients of the plants.
Astragalus membranaceus can also be supplemented via a root extract. The standard dose for the root extract form is 30g."

From the ways I have seen other people dosing it this seems much higher, so I have to ask whether 500mg as in this version (see link directly below) of Astragalus (just an example product) is it suggesting taking 60 of these capsules to reach the dose of 30g?
