It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. Dietary supplements are not evaluated by the FDA the way medicines are, quality varies between brands, and some herbs and supplements can interact with medications or be unsafe in certain conditions.

Individual results vary. Seek urgent care for any severe reaction, and in an emergency call 911.
