Dosages (Jiaogulan) In an interesting departure, Blumert and Liu give dosage recommendations, indication by indication, based on StX 20 mg tablets (85% gypenosides); in general, the preventive dose is 20 mg 23 /day, while the therapeutic dose is 60 mg 23 /day; other experimental data reported 510 mg/kg ivn dog (ABS); 20 mg gypenosides orl man

3 /day/1 mo (ABS); 20 mg gypenosides orl man 2 /day/3 mos (ABS); water extract with 30 mg gypenosides; and 1 ml/kg body weight (ABS). Standardization may soon produce products with 85% gypenosides. Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Jiaogulan) I dont find this in any of my books. Hence I have no negative information. Gypenosides LD50 = >100 therapeutic dose.
