10:1 Lemon Balm

I took this for the first time yesterday. Took half (250mg) of one at 5pm, then the other half at 5:30pm to see what it felt like. Very strong sedative! When I fell asleep at 9pm, slept harder than I have for a long time until 12am and woke up unable to go back to sleep. I waited until 2am to take another half for safety reasons since it says to only take 1 twice per day. Is there any safety concerns with taking the 2 closer together? Is the max safety amount really only 2 in one day? Has anyone went higher than that? Thanks in advance.

I have lemon balm 10% rosmaric acid, how does it compare to ND’s 10:1 extract?

Rosmarinic acid actually has a bell-shaped dose/response curve. More rosmarinic acid actually stimulates me, and has the same effect on many people. This is one where more is not always better. I find our 10:1 lemon balm much more calming than our Cyracos, which has much more rosmarinic acid in it.
