Calculating Capsule Dosage Amounts
Here's How:
Determine the capsule size you will need.
Standard capsules are size "00" and measure about 5/8 in diameter.
Smaller capsules are "0" larger capsules are size "000".
2 "00" sized capsules will hold 1 teaspoon or 1300 mg of dried herb. This equals 60 drops or 1 teas. of tincture.
2 "0" sized capsules hold 3/4 teaspoon or 1000 mg of dried herb.
2 "000" sized capsules hold approx. 1 1/3 teaspoon or 1600 mg of dried herb.
1 oz. of dried herb will make approx. 60 "0" sized capsules and 30 "00" sized capsules.
For medicinal teas
1 oz herb for each pint of water. This is quite different than using tea bags.
For herb oils using fresh herb are 8 oz herb in 1 pint oil or 4 oz herb to 1 pint oil.
For size "00" capsules the standard dosage is 2, 3 times per day.
Be sure to check out the resources below for more information.
