Can I take more than 1 herb at the same time of day?

Currently taking Ginkgo (80 mg 3 times day) , Rhodiolia (3.5 rosavins, 150mg 3xday) and Ashwangandha (1.5 withanadolides (sp?) . 940 mg 2x day) .





Should I space them out or can I take them all at once?

Can I take more than 1 herb at the same time of day?
You can absolutely take them all at once. Ashwaghanda is traditionally taken at night in warm milk. It is an adaptogen that facilitates sleep. Rhodiola is also an adaptogen but is best in the morning or during the day as it should have an energizing effect. Herbs are great in combination. Gotu Kola is nice with ginkgo. By the way, I have never heard of or experienced antioxidant overdose, and I take a lot of supercritical extractions of herbal antioxidants. Also, these herbs are not antioxidants in a general sense. Maybe ginkgo has some properties, but definitely not in that classification. Sounds great; the best way is to listen to your body, and see how you are feeling. I take 10s of 20s of 30s of herbal combinations daily and I work in an herbal store.
Reply:You can take them all together but they seem like high doses to be taking all of them 2 and 3 times a day.


You maybe should cut down the amounts or just take one in the am, one in the afternoon and one at night. You can overdose too much antioxidents.
Reply:Either is fine. They are safe to be taken together.
Reply:As P T Barnum said------------.

If you feel better for taking them so be it. I think it is mostly snake oil.
