What’s the dose for Panax ginseng mentioned in Week 28 when used as a tonic for stimulating effects and hypocortisolism?

Chris Kresser: I don’t tend to use Panax ginseng separately. I tend to use it just in small doses in adaptogenic formulas where it tends to show up. Panax ginseng, especially if you’re not familiar with how to use it, it can be overstimulating and cause some side effects in patients when you’re using it in higher doses, so I generally like it in lower doses as part of a formula.
