Overview
•Monacolin K at 2.5mg (equivalent to 10mg lovastatin) may cause muscle pain or liver enzyme elevation in sensitive individuals, similar to statin side effects; monitor liver function with long-term use.
•Phytosterols (1,500mg) are safe within established limits (up to 3g/day), but may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like beta-carotene; no major interactions with this formulation.
•B-vitamins and Vitamin C dosages meet 100% NRV and are well below upper limits, posing low risk for healthy adults; suitable for vegetarians/vegans with no animal-derived ingredients.
•Garlic and pine bark extracts at these doses have minimal side effect risks, but garlic may mildly thin blood; caution for those on anticoagulants or with bleeding disorders.
•No allergens like gluten, soy, or nuts listed; low contamination risk from standard manufacturing, but consult doctor if pregnant, breastfeeding, or on cholesterol medications.
•Overall low interaction potential, but Monacolin K may amplify effects of statins or other lipid-lowering drugs; not recommended for children or those with liver/kidney conditions.
