Combining extracts: the practical rules
Plant extracts
Two extracts at the same time — does that work? Yes, many people do it. Here are the practical rules: how to dose, what goes into the same glass and when one plant alone is the better choice.

The practical rules
No magic formula — four simple things that keep combining tidy.
Each plant by its own label
The dose is stated on every bottle and applies regardless of what else you take. Do not halve it because there are two — and certainly do not double it.
All in one glass
Two or three extracts can go into the same glass of water together. It is quicker, and the bitter note does not get stronger than it already is.
Spread across the day
Some plants suit the morning, others after meals, others the evening. What fits when is stated on each product page.
Water, tea or juice
All of them work. In hot water or tea some of the alcohol evaporates, and fruit juice covers the bitter note.
When not to combine
If you take medication
Plant extracts can interfere with medicines. Take them at least 30 minutes apart from your medication. That gap alone does not resolve every interaction, though — talk to your doctor first anyway. This applies to a single extract too, not only to combinations.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding
Here the same rule applies to every plant, alone or combined: do not use without medical advice.
If something does not agree with you
Then drop the combination and take the plants one after another to see what caused it. With a mixture you will never find out.
Already combined
If you would rather not put it together yourself: the set holds four plants that are often used together.

The silicon plant.
Olive Leaf Extract Liquid
The Mediterranean in drops.
Artichoke Extract
The bitter compounds of the leaves.
