Detail:
Artemisia species contain thujone. For adults, the upper limit for total daily intake of thujone from health products is 6 mg. Product licence applications for oral products should include a copy of a certificate of analysis or any other equivalent document demonstrating that the thujone content of a daily dose of the product is acceptable. Because thujone content of the herbal materials can vary, the thujone content should be determined for each batch during production of the product.
