ND's Lemon Balm suggestions? Dose? Tips?
Original post in this thread

I'm a fan of Lemon Balm tinctures and whatnot, and just recently got ND's in-house Lemon Balm tablets.
Took 1 500mg with lunch and haven't felt anything from it. Normally, with tinctures I do (those are about equal to 600mg of fresh aerial parts). This tablet is presumably 8x more plant material than what I normally take with the tinctures, so I thought I might feel something.
So, couple of questions:
* What is the upper level dosage while avoiding potential toxicity?
* With or without food?
* Would combining a bit of magnolia bark extract help potentiate the effects?
* Are there any other compounds in this dual extract that could be counteracting the normal sedating effects of water extracts or ethanol extracts?
* Anything else or any tips I should know?

If you wanted to lengthen the time of the effect a nootropic/supplement, would you ever recommend splitting up the larger dose into smaller doses taken gradually, e.g. a quarter of the regular dose per hour?

It depends on the specific compound, but sure. That would work. That's the concept behind extended release things. They slowly release smaller amounts over time. You can just do it yourself by taking smaller doses of things more often, though.
