Didn't copy the link down and it would take a while to search again, but a bit of googling or pubmed and luck should find it. I've never seen any study or health organization recommendation under 6,000 mg whole herb anyway (though extracts are less). And I've never found much mention of adverse or toxic effects at any amount in a study. I know there are anecdotal reports of trouble with hypoglycemics even at low amounts. I think if you replace 1/3rd of a male rabbit's diet with fenugreek seeds it makes them sterile, but that's a bit extreme.

Here's a quick search result with a 10,000 mg diabetes study for both genders: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26098483

10,000 mg is slightly over a tablespoon.

1g of one herb is not the same as 1g of another herb and there's nothing extreme or mild about it without some kind of baseline or study to determine that. We eat hundreds of grams of various substances all the time with various health effects. OTOH 100 mg can be a lot for some. It all depends on the concentration. Most studies I find on pueraria mirifica use 25-200 mg. Most other studies on herbs I find such as ginseng, catuaba, mucuna pruriens, tongkat ali, horny goat weed, etc., must use a strong extract or else they would need 5,000-100,000 mg of the whole herb. Most capsule bottles OTOH say 1,000 mg regardless of the herb, because that's 2 capsules and that's what people want to hear.

Anyway, gtg. Time has not been on my side this year. Can't always sift through 30 studies and read down to an important detail of information.
