Warnings

Prescribing Information:
- This product is not recommended for use in pregnancy or lactation.
- Due to antiplatelet activity of curcumin, suspend use one week prior to major surgery.
- Curcumin can cause gallbladder contractions and should not be used by individuals with gallstones or bile duct obstruction.
- Glutamine is contraindicated in patients with hepatic disease and should only be used under professional supervision in people with chronic renal failure.
- Slippery elm (mucilage) forms an inert barrier over the intestinal lining and may theoretically alter the rate and/or extent of absorption of medicines with narrow therapeutic indexes (such as barbiturates, digoxin, lithium, phenytoin and warfarin). It is advised to separate doses by at least two hours.
- Pectin may interfere with the intestinal absorption of digoxin, lovastatin and tetracyclines.
- Aloe vera may have hypoglycaemic activity, therefore additive effects are theoretically possible when taken in conjunction with hypoglycaemic agents.
- Glutamine is a precursor of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate and, therefore, may theoretically antagonise the anticonvulsant effects of medications taken for epilepsy.
