Directions: Take 3 capsules daily or as recommended by your health professional.
Allergy Warning: Iodine may occasionally cause an allergic reaction in some individuals.
Consult your health professional before using this product If pregnant.
Interactions: As vitamin K interferes with the effect of anticoagulant drugs (like Coumadin), the concurrent use of these agents should be avoided.
5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate’s anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.
Additional warning: Accidental overdose of iron containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six. Keep this product out of reach of children.
Vitamin C can cause diarrhoea in some individuals in large doses, which can vary from person to person and resolves when the amount is reduced.
