Can You Take Too Much Astragalus?
Little is known about the effects of an overdose with
astragalus (an herbal supplement used for a variety of different conditions). It is not even clear if an overdose is possible or how much astragalus would result in an overdose. If you think you or someone else may have taken too much of any medication or supplement (including astragalus), please seek immediate medical attention.
As mentioned, it is not known exactly what to expect from an astragalus overdose. Since no side effects have been clearly linked to astragalus, it is impossible to predict what symptoms may occur if too much is taken.

It is important that you seek prompt medical attention immediately if you believe that you may have taken an astragalus overdose.
