Overview
•High zinc (75 mg) exceeds RDA and may cause nausea or copper deficiency with long-term use; monitor intake from other sources.
•Biotin at 5,000 mcg is safe but can interfere with lab tests for thyroid, hormone, and heart markers; inform healthcare providers.
•Iron (3 mg) is low but unnecessary for non-anemic adults; avoid if hemochromatosis present to prevent overload.
•Contains soy and tree nut (argan) allergens; contraindicated for those with allergies; gelatin unsuitable for vegans.
•Vitamins A, C, E provide antioxidant support but high vitamin A may pose risks in pregnancy; consult doctor if pregnant or lactating.
•No major drug interactions for most, but high zinc may reduce absorption of antibiotics or penicillamine; space dosing by 2 hours.
