Side Effects - Vitamins, NutrientsD-Mannose
D-Mannose Side EffectsTest tube studies suggest that consuming large amounts of mannose might lead to birth defects, although this is not considered a likely risk in humans consuming mannose from foods and naturally producing their own mannose. Nonetheless, until more is known, pregnant women should use supplemental mannose with caution. At the time of writing, there were [...] Soy
Soy Side EffectsSoy products and cooked soybeans are safe at a wide range of intakes. However, a small percentage of people have allergies to soybeans and thus should avoid soy products. Soy isoflavones have been reported to reduce thyroid function in some people. A preliminary trial of soy supplementation among healthy Japanese, found that 30 grams (about one ounce) per [...] Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) Side EffectsExperts have concerns about the use of DHEA, particularly because long-term safety data do not exist. Side effects at high intakes (50–200 mg per day) appear to be acne (in over 50% of people), increased facial hair (18%), and increased perspiration (8%). In a preliminary trial, DHEA was also reported to induce [...] Docosahexaenoic Acid
Docosahexaenoic Acid Side EffectsWhile those with heart disease and diabetes often benefit from fish oil (the primary source of DHA in the diet), such people should check with their doctor before taking more than 3 or 4 grams of fish oil per day for [...] Digestive Enzymes
Digestive Enzymes Side EffectsThe most important digestive enzymes in malabsorption diseases are usually fat-digesting enzymes called lipases. Proteolytic enzymes can digest, as well as destroy, lipases. Therefore, people with enzyme deficiencies may want to avoid proteolytic enzymes in order to spare lipases. If this is not possible (as most enzyme products [...] Methylsulfonylmethane
Methylsulfonylmethane Side EffectsAccording to some anecdotal reports, MSM has been used in human research for many years in amounts above 2000 mg per day with no significant adverse effects. However, diarrhea, skin rash, headache, and fatigue may be experienced in less than 20% of people, according to other anecdotal reports. Detectable levels of MSM in the [...] DMSO
DMSO Side EffectsDMSO frequently causes a garlic-like body odor and taste in the mouth. Other reported side effects include stomach upset, sensitivity to light, visual disturbances, and headache. Skin irritation can develop at the site where DMSO is applied topically. Only highly purified, properly diluted [...] DMAE
DMAE Side EffectsClinical studies of DMAE have used up to 1,600 mg per day with no reports of side effects. For this reason, DMAE is believed to be relatively nontoxic. However, one study using higher intakes for Alzheimer’s disease patients did report symptoms of drowsiness and [...] Green Tea
Green Tea Side EffectsGreen tea is generally free of side effects. The most common adverse effects reported from consuming large amounts (several cups per day) of green tea are insomnia, anxiety, and other symptoms caused by the caffeine content in the herb. An extract [...] Lactase
Lactase Side EffectsLactase is safe and does not produce side effects. Some, but not all, studies suggest that lactose-intolerant individuals absorb less calcium. At the time of writing, there were no well-known drug interactions with lactase.
