Honestly if you were wanting to do that with another herb, it really really depends on which one. Any herb dose should be gradually built up from the start of taking them (don't just jump into full dose, give your body a little time to somewhat adjust to the new herb before going full dose). And you should also take a break with any herb. The breaks are to not only give your liver a break/cleanse, they are to help the herb potency because your body will get used to the herb and your growth results will slow or even halt. Many people agree that 1 month on, then 1 week break works well. Or even one week on, and take a break over the weekends.

I'm taking a higher dose of maca than what is recommended on the bottle. That does NOT mean that doing that is safe to do with any herb! And that doesn't mean that anyone can do it with maca either, everyone responds to herbs differently. And as always, if you start experiencing unwanted side effects, lower your dose. Some people had adverse reactions at doses lower than mine, some people had awesome results at doses lower and at doses higher than mine.

Dosages are very different for each herb! 1,000mg of this doesn't mean you can take 1,000mg of that. Keep that in mind. What herb(s) are you taking?
