That's a good plan :)

500-1000 mg daily starting right away and continuing thru BFP, then gradually wean off.

We have had occasional issues with strange dosing from Aussie herb companies.

I think that kind is strongly formulated as a cold remedy and would not be taken constantly. I would not give that to DH and would find a different dose. That is way too much and YES any herb can be harmful at megadoses.

I'd just buy a reputable brand and take the max dose recommended on the bottle. So no need to return!

Yes exactly. This is what seems to be the case with many Australian herbal companies is that they use some different way of formulating or calculating the strenght so it ends up sounding like it is much higher, but really it is identical. Most of the time, if you follow the directions ON THE BOTTLE and it is a name brand product, it is ok.

My concern with the 3000 is that I believe it is meant for short term use for colds/infections and not to be used day after day for possibly months on end. So my thinking is that those should not be used (well, certainly could save for their desired intent, of course) and the 500-1000 is safer.

Grrr. What do we do. Before my miscarriage last year df was taking cranberry pills and LR. The LR didn't agree with him so we were meant to be trying ole this time. He has been taking them since Jan and he said they don't agree with him either. They give him really bad tummy pains. So he has been taking them on and off which isn't really going to do anything is it? He's on the lowest dose. 500mg capsule

Olive leaf is meant as a substitute for cranbery, not licorice root.

Is he taking both cranberry and olive leaf?? IF so he needs to stop the cranberry right away.

I would try giving it only every other day or every two days to see if he tolerates it better. And drop the cran.
