Would it be equally effective to take double the amount once a day? I am wondering about general body tonics, i.e. memory and alertness formula for someone over 60.

They only stay in your blood for so many hours. Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
