The serving amount varies by product \u2014 the exact amount is always stated on the packaging and product page, and one product's dose should never be applied to another. Take our\u00a0flagship ginseng powder<\/a>\u00a0as an example: the label instructs three level scoops in the morning, at noon, and in the evening (about 0.7g per scoop), and one 150g tin lasts around 24 days.<\/p>\n

Different Products, Different Amounts<\/h2>\n

Our range includes powder, capsule, and concentrate formats, each with a different concentration level and packaging, so the serving amount is never one-size-fits-all. Capsules are generally four a day, with nothing to measure or mix, and a box of 120 lasts about 30 days. Our concentrated extract format uses a smaller daily amount \u2014 around 2.67g, stirred into warm (not boiling) water \u2014 with a single jar lasting about 60 days. Ginseng powder needs to be measured with the scoop provided and stirred into water, following the packaging instructions exactly.<\/p>\n

Timing<\/h2>\n

The label recommends splitting the daily amount across morning, noon, and evening, fitting naturally into your existing routine, though capsules can also be taken all at once or split around meals for more flexibility. Overall, consistency matters more than exact timing \u2014 ginseng is a habit, not a dose, and building a regular routine is more practical than fixating on a specific hour.<\/p>\n

Water Temperature and Preparation<\/h2>\n

Ginseng powder should be stirred into warm water, never boiling \u2014 very hot water works against the point of low-temperature extraction. Capsules can simply be taken with lukewarm water. See our other article on this site for more detail on brewing.<\/p>\n

What to Check Before You Take It<\/h2>\n

Always follow the exact serving amount printed on the packaging or stated on the product page. Different products have different concentration levels and packaging formats, so the serving amount is not consistent across the range \u2014 never apply one product's dose to another. If you have any questions, our\u00a0Frequently Asked Questions<\/a>\u00a0has more detail, or you can contact us directly with your batch number for verification.<\/p>\n

Choosing a Format If You're New to Ginseng<\/h2>\n

If this is your first time trying a ginseng product, or you're buying one as a gift, a familiar format like ginseng powder is usually the easiest starting point \u2014 the serving instructions are straightforward and the routine is simple to follow. Customers who are already familiar with ginseng might prefer a more specialised format, such as a concentrated extract or capsules. Whichever format you choose, always read that specific product's own packaging instructions before starting.<\/p>\n

Can You Take More Than the Label Says?<\/h2>\n

The amount printed on the packaging is the recommended amount, not a floor to build on. Don't increase the serving amount on your own in the hope of a faster or stronger result \u2014 ginseng products are not medicines, and taking more than directed does not produce an additional effect. If you're unsure whether a given amount is right for you, ask your doctor or a registered Chinese medicine practitioner rather than adjusting the dose yourself.<\/p>\n

If You're Not Sure<\/h2>\n

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking other medication, or have a long-term health condition, speak to your doctor or a registered Chinese medicine practitioner before starting, and adjust the amount and timing based on their advice rather than deciding on your own.<\/p>\n
