Pulsing Your Supplements

Pulsing simply means taking breaks instead of just taking supplements indefinitely.  A good way to do this (with your doctor's approval of course!) is to take supplements 5 days during the week and then take a break on the weekend.  Another is 3 weeks on 1 week off.  It depends on the supplement and why you are taking it, but it is good practice if you can do this...especially with adaptogens.   Not only does it create a rhythm but it also allows the body to integrate the information during the times of abstinence and help determine if what you are taking is still supporting you!
