If it's 4:1 you take 750 mg to 7.5 grams or maybe more. If it's 6% diosgenin that's probably around 4:1 to 8:1 so assuming 6:1 that's 500 mg to 5 grams, or maybe more. Etc. Or you could keep increasing it until you get a response such as swelling or soreness; these are just ballpark figures to give you a starting point. You may want to try less before more too, just in case.
FG and Sv are nontoxic in any amount. GR gets toxic in very large amounts, and WY in much larger amounts.
Could you describe how and why these herbs 'amplify' hormones? x
