Side Effects - Vitamins, NutrientsBorage Oil
Borage Oil Side EffectsBorageseeds contain small amounts of liver toxins called pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA). However, testing has not demonstrated the presence of the alkaloid in the seed oil. Most commercially available borage seed oil is, therefore, likely to be PA-free and presents no risk of PA toxicity. Minor side effects from borage oil use can include [...] Boric Acid
Boric Acid Side EffectsBoric acid suppositories should not be used during pregnancy. Boric acid is very toxic when taken internally and should also never be used on open wounds. When boric acid enters the body, it can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dermatitis, kidney damage, acute failure of the circulatory system, and even [...] Boron
Boron Side EffectsAccidental acute exposure to high levels of boron can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, rash, convulsions, and other symptoms. Although chronic exposures can cause related problems, the small (usually 1–3 mg per day) amounts found in supplements have not been linked with toxicity in most reports. Nonetheless, in one double-blind trial using 2.5 mg of boron per [...] Cartilage and Collagen
Cartilage and Collagen Side EffectsReports have suggested that some people should not use a cartilage supplement. This concern is based only on theory, not clinical evidence. This would include those people with cardiovascular disease, women who are planning to be or are pregnant, nursing mothers, [...] Bovine Colostrum
Bovine Colostrum Side EffectsNone are known. At the time of writing, there were no well-known drug interactions with bovine colostrum. Brewer’s Yeast
Brewer’s Yeast Side EffectsSide effects have not been reported from the use of brewer’s yeast, although allergies to it exist in some people. It is not related to Candida albicans fungus, which causes yeast infection. Because it contains a highly biologically active form of chromium, supplementation with brewer’s yeast could [...] Bromelain
Bromelain Side EffectsBromelain is generally safe and free of side effects when taken in moderate amounts. However, one preliminary report indicates increased heart rate with the use of bromelain. In addition, some people are allergic to bromelain. One woman reportedly developed a hives and severe [...] Vitamin D
Vitamin D Side EffectsPeople with hyperparathyroidism should not take vitamin D without consulting a physician. People with sarcoidosis should not supplement with vitamin D, unless a doctor has determined that their calcium levels are not elevated. Too much vitamin D taken for long periods of [...] Calcium
Calcium Side EffectsConstipation, bloating, and gas are sometimes reported with the use of calcium supplements. A very high intake of calcium from dairy products plus supplemental calcium carbonate was reported in the past to cause a condition called “milk alkali syndrome.” This toxicity is [...] Calcium D-glucarate
Calcium D-glucarate Side EffectsNo side effects have been reported with calcium D-glucarate. Although there are no known drug interactions, many drugs (especially hormones) are metabolized in the liver by binding to glucuronic acid. It is therefore possible that taking calcium D-glucarate could increase the elimination of certain drugs or hormones from the body, thereby reducing their effectiveness.
