Anyone mickey mousing around with OTC stuff like st johns wort or quercitin needs to read the flockhart table to see how it effects other medicines you take .
This is even true if you got a clean bill of health on genetics but most people don’t have that information. So you look at the list and see where there may be problems based on issues with drugs in past
Here is how it works . You might be a poor metabolizer and then you add some OTC that also inhibits and you may end up with a problem. There are so many issues with drugs med school should do a better job on education on it.
That’s a good point. We only take one prescription each, but vitamins or supplements for anything else. I’m sick of big pharma so don’t feel like having all the rest of that cr@p in our systems. We try to eat right and exercise daily.
I’ll check on how ours mix with our vitamins. I probably should fine tune things a bit. Thx for the tip.
We specifically do not take berberine and St. John’s Wort for precisely such reasons.
They conflict with other supplements and foods that we get more out of.
I do the check before we use a new supplement.
