        On the organic Ashwagandha capsule bottle (just as an illustration), they recommend taking 1200mg per day (3 caps).  What would be the equivalent dose for a 1:5 tincture?  SOOO much less expensive!  I know Doc usually says 1/4-1/2 tsp twice a day – but what would that be in MG’s (as if I were taking capsules)?  Thanks.

          Unless you get your material tested each time you make it you will never know the exact concentration. When I taught with Patrick we told people that you need to start with smaller portions (not doses!) and work up from there until you get the effect you are desiring.

          Also, there is NO WAY to tell if what the bottle is telling you is the truth or not.
