I AM NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL AND NOTHING POSTED HERE SHOULD BE CONSTRUED AS MEDICAL ADVICE. Always discuss medications with your medical provider before adding any supplements to your routine. Do not stop taking prescription medication without discussing with your provider.

My notes of “caused anxiety” were a much more uncomfortable experience than two words imply and took several days to undo by stopping all supplements and then later adding back in the ones that appeared safe for me personally. I may receive a commission from purchases made through some links here but the commission did not affect my choice to share what I have used or how I felt when using it.
