Lemon balm extract tablets, sedating at low doses stimulating at high
Original post in this thread

This is strange, i take lemon balm for sleep purposes and it is seemingly very sedating when i take 500 mg ( one tablet of ND's lemon balm ) however when i cross that limit and take 2-3 i find myself having trouble sleeping, like a relaxed stimulant with only mental stimulation properties.
Anyone else had this experience?

Yep! Crazy, right? It's the rosmarinic acid. There is a bell shaped dose/response curve. You will find it is even stronger with Cyracos because the high rosmarinic acid content. Going too high on lemon balm dosage leads to a mentally stimulating effect.
