If I take American pawpaw, how much should I take?

Dosing from scientific studies has not been proven safe or effective for American pawpaw (Asimina triloba). For cancer, 12.5-50 milligrams of extract has been taken by mouth four times a day with food for periods of up to 18 months. For lice, 40 milliliters of Paw Paw Lice Remover Shampoo® (0.5% pawpaw extract, 1% thymol, and 0.5% tea tree oil) applied three times to dry hair, once every 8 days for up to 24 days, has been used.
