Overview
•Berberine at 300 mg per serving may cause mild GI upset such as nausea or diarrhea in sensitive users, especially when taken without food.
•Green tea extract standardized to 50% EGCG (100 mg EGCG) is well below levels associated with liver concerns but should be monitored in those with liver conditions.
•Resveratrol 50 mg and grape seed extract are generally well-tolerated but may interact with blood thinners or blood pressure medications.
•Probiotic strains (Akkermansia and L. acidophilus) at low doses are safe for most but may cause temporary bloating in individuals new to probiotics.
•Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to berberine content; consult a physician before use if taking prescription medications.
•Take with food as directed to reduce potential GI irritation.
