The evidence in words
How much to take
300–600 mg of a standardized extract daily.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Holy Basil (Tulsi); consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
It has adaptogenic, anti-inflammatory, and mild glucose- and cortisol-modulating actions across small studies.
Bottom line
A low-risk, early-evidence adaptogen for stress and metabolic support. Worth a trial if you like it; don't expect strong data yet.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
