Typical dose: 300–600mg of a standardized extract (KSM-66 or Sensoril) per day.

For stress and sleep, evening is popular. For general daytime stress, morning works too. Take it with food to reduce any stomach upset.

Who should avoid it

Avoid or check with a doctor first if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have a thyroid condition, an autoimmune condition, or take sedatives, thyroid, or blood-pressure medication.
