Powdered goldenseal root and rhizome, 4–6 grams per day in tablet or capsule form, is sometimes recommended.³⁵ For liquid herbal extracts, use 2–4 ml three times per day. Alternatively, 250–500 mg three times per day of standardized extracts supplying 8–12% alkaloids, are suggested. Continuous use should not exceed three weeks, with a break of at least two weeks between each use.

Due to environmental concerns of overharvesting,³⁶ many herbalists recommend alternatives to goldenseal, such as Oregon grape or goldthread.
