Dandilion Root Dosage...

[RxGenes]

Last year I dried out with "diurex". Problem was it was full of caffiene so it kept me up all night. I'm not making that mistake this year. The general recommendation is to take dandilion root but I've never seen a dosage posted. The guy that got me ready last year told me "Get a natural diuretic, take 2 pills every 4 hours". He gave me my water depletion chart w/ diuretics for the last week but even he never gave me a dosage on anything. What have you all heard/used ?

Sorry to be answering this so late...

I take dandilion root every day. My water retention fluctuates on a daily basis (we women are so hormonal.), so it helps minimize it. I take 2000mg daily. If you're depleting for a show, you should take 2000mg at least 4-5 times a day. That's 4 caps @ 500mg 4-5 times a day.

If that dosage isn't enough, you can keep upping it. The great thing about dandilion is that it works pretty fast. Within a day - so you can make adjustments as needed, or do a practice run to see how your body responds.
