Question
Is it safe to take L-arginine, ginseng, and ginkgo daily?

Answer
Hello Bob,

You did not say if you were on any medications.  Ginkgo is a blood thinner as well but most people use it for circulation and memory. If you are not on a blood thinner then this would be fine.

You also did not say what kind of ginseng. I am guessing you mean Siberian Ginseng which is or should now be called Eluthero on the lable. This is find to take daily. If it is another ginseng that is fine as well but Eluthero is an adaptagen and better taken long term than other ginsengs. Other ginsengs should be taken for only the duration needed to fix the issue.  Do not take Eluthero with acute disease, high fever, severe inflammation, hyperactivie or extreme nervous anxiety.

L-Arginine, (an amino acid) should also be fine to take as long as you are not on a blood thinner as well.

You can find all these supplements and more at my website at
www.yourherbalhealthsolutions.com
A-Arginine is called RG-Max.

To your health,

Tonja Wells,CNHP, NHC
