Everyone's intake of eleutherococcus for strength training varies, but the average is as follows: the tincture should be taken in the morning, after breakfast and before training, 10-15 drops. You can also take 1 to 3 times a day for a month.
Those who take more than once a day dilute the substance with water (20 drops per tablespoon of water). One time a day is taken without adding water.
The bad thing about this method is that the effect is considerably weaker in the evening if you take it in the morning, which is not the case if you take it three times a day with water.
The difference between the two methods is that without water, the drug starts working at its maximum potency, but with water, it tones it up to a certain level and holds it until the late evening.
There is also a tablet form of eleutherococcus. Take 1 to 2 times a day for a month.
It is not recommended to take it for more than 1 month, after that you should take a break or replace it with weaker remedies, e.g. ginseng, lemongrass. It can also increase the strength and vitality of the organism when used alone, but it can also stimulate the body when used regularly.
