Q I take protein supplements and a multivitamin every day. Is it okay to take them with herbal medicine?
A It's okay to take them together if you space them out in time. Protein supplements and vitamins don't clash with herbal medicine, but if you're not absorbing them, supplements alone have limits, so restoring stomach function itself comes first.
Detailed Answer
Protein supplements and multivitamins are tools thin people often use. There's no direct clash with herbal medicine, so take them about 1–2 hours apart. However, when absorption is weak, supplements often aren't absorbed enough either, so restoring stomach function should come first.
Oriental Medicine Clinic Perspective
If you tell us at the consultation which supplements you're taking, we adjust the herbal composition and dosing times accordingly. Once absorption revives with oriental medicine treatment, much greater effect begins to appear even from the same supplements.
