• If symptoms persist consult your healthcare practitioner.
• Always read the label. Use only as directed.

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.
