Is it possible to take too many natural supplements?

Question

I take apple cider,ginseng and ginkgo and I was wondering if taking all of those all at the same time could be bad?

Answer 1

You may want to consider getting the same affects naturally.

You can eat foods that will cure the ailments you are using the supplements for.

Answer 2

I was expecting a list as long as your arm. I do see patients who are on an enormous amount of self-prescribed natural supplements (sometimes 8 or more) but 3 is just fine. Apple cider is more of a food. People can sometimes overdose on ginseng but you'd have to be taking quite large doses. I don't usually prescribe ginseng for long periods of time. There are some contraindications for ginkgo but many people use it long term.
