Overview
•Licorice root at 25mg may elevate blood pressure and lower potassium in sensitive individuals, especially with long-term use or pre-existing hypertension.
•Product contraindicated during pregnancy due to potential abortifacient risks from ashwagandha, licorice, and astragalus extracts.
•Ginger extract (50mg) may enhance blood-thinning effects; use caution with anticoagulants like warfarin.
•High vitamin C (250mg) is generally safe but can cause gastrointestinal upset in some; no major interactions in this formulation.
•B vitamins and zinc at listed doses are well below upper limits, posing low risk for healthy adults; monitor in renal impairment.
•Overall low contamination risk as Thorne products are third-party tested; contraindicated in hypersensitivity to any ingredients.
