What Are the Side Effects of VITUS Spirulina Californian Desert Grown?
Always consult your health practitioner if in doubt.
RiskLow Risk
Overview
•Each 3 g serving supplies 22 mcg of naturally occurring vitamin K (up to 66 mcg across 3 daily servings), which can reduce the anticoagulant efficacy of warfarin; consistent intake and INR monitoring are advised.
•Cyanobacteria can accumulate heavy metals or hepatotoxic microcystins if grown in contaminated water; controlled Californian closed-pond cultivation substantially mitigates these contamination risks.
•People with phenylketonuria (PKU) should avoid spirulina because it is a dense natural source of phenylalanine.
•Individuals with systemic autoimmune conditions (such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis) should use caution, as spirulina stimulates immune cell activity.
•Generally well-tolerated at recommended doses, though initial use can cause mild gastrointestinal distress, dark-green stools, or mild nausea.
