Topic Title: Dosage

, Wed 28 Sep 09:35
Hi. I'm new to SJW or vice-versa & was wondering whether dosage relates to weight? eg. A person weighing 60 kilos should take 3 tabs (3 x 0.3% hypericin) per day whereas it would be better for someone weighing 80 kilos to take 4. Thanks in advance & thanks for the site Kelly - it's helped me tremendously already. Mike

Hi there!
There are a lot of studies out there on sjw showing good if not great results.
They do not seem to take into account bodyweight though.
I cant say you are right or wrong, only that most trials
have been made with 3x300mg and without taking bodyweight into account.
I read that some studies start out with 900mg/day (3x300) and
then increase to 1800mg/day after 2 to 4 weeks for those that
havent responded to the treatment.
Maybe you coluld try 900mg/day for 2-4 weeks and then try increasing the dose
if you dont feel as expected at that time?

Thanks for taking the time to reply Herbie. Yes it does seem that the research out there takes a one-dosage-fits-all approach without any mention of bodyweight. Think I'll do as you suggest, i.e. stick to recommended dose for a month/6 weeks and take it from there.
