Ginger Root Dosage*

Recommended Dosage: 167 - 1,500 milligrams @ 1-3+ times a day*

Ginger Dosage Equation:

The dosage of most tonics work by bodyweight and activity level and dietary factors. The amount of ginger taken is dependent on bodyweight, but is dependent mostly on diet factors.

BW + AL + DF

• Bodyweight (BW) is the overall weight measured by a bathroom or locker room scale.
• Activity level (AL) is a relative unit based on the amount of work accomplished, stress-levels and fitness-intensity.
• Diet factors (DF) are based on how much calories and food is taken in, such as protein, fat and carbohydrates.

Estimated Daily Dosage:

• BW = 1 dropper per ~100 pounds bodyweight
• AL = + 0-1 droppers - 0 low/medium, 1 medium/high
• DF = + 10 drops to 1 dropper for every meal/snack as desired

Example: 185lb person (BW = 1 dropper) who is travelling by plane (AL = 0-1 droppers) and is eating 3 meals on-the-road with 1 midafternoon snack (DF = 40 drops to 4 droppers) would have a functional dosage of ~2-6 droppers daily divided into 1-5 doses across the day.

Example is BW 1 + AL 0-1 + DF ~1-4 =  ~2-6 droppers divided into several doses of 10-20 drops or entire droppers

To find a functional dose, start with a minimum dose of 10 drops to 1 dropper and work up to a functional dose.*

Ginger dropper:

• 60 1ml droppers in a 2oz (60ml) bottle
• 1ml dropper = ~500 mgs ginger root extract

Ginger drops:

• 30 drops in a 1ml dropper
• 1 drop = ~17 mgs ginger root extract

Suggested Ginger Cycle:*

• Initial Phase = 1+ days
• Health Cultivation = ∞

Continuous consumption of ginger root is okay and may be used as one pleases.

Benefits with tonics take time; taking enough consistently rewards health.

Take as desired: consume on a continuous basis to develop the natural tonic benefits that build over time.* Some benefits are immediate and some results require consumption over several days and weeks to accomplish.*

Shake gently: secure the lid and turn the bottle over back-and-forth 3-5 times to evenly distribute the tincture. Do not over-shake as the vigorous mixing of air with the extract will oxidize and damage many of the necessary constituents for required dosage and potency.

By mouth: be warned! it's spicy hot! Hold the liquid under the tongue for 60-90 seconds and then swallow the rest of extract; doing so allows digestion to begin in the mouth and will take advantage of the activated multi-step extract so that many of the constituents will bypass digestion and enter the body through the mouth and throat.* Holding the extract also promotes better absorption and assimilation and elicits an immediate effect that is performance oriented*

Mix with water: squirt the drops or entire droppers into 2-4 oz. of water that is under 120*F. Water that is cool to lukewarm temperature is best to preserve the volatile and fragile constituents from being damaged and denatured which will reduce the potency of the extract.* Sip slowly to allow absorption in the mouth and throat.* This method makes it easier to become accustomed to the extract and to take larger doses of several different tinctures at once in a tonic program.*

For maximum potency: regularly consume the tincture within a period of 45 days; after 45 days of continuous consumption the extract may begin to gradually lose potency requiring a larger dosage to achieve similar benefit.* A bottle will generally last 10-30 days depending on dosage and concurrent supplementation programming.*
