When To Take It
Ginseng extract is best taken after meals to minimize potential stomach discomfort and to support energy levels throughout the day.
Synergy and Antagonism
Ginseng extract works synergistically with ginkgo biloba extract and ashwagandha to improve cognitive function, reduce stress, and boost energy levels. However, it is antagonistic to caffeine, as combining the two may cause overstimulation, leading to side effects such as jitteriness and insomnia.
