Symptoms to watch for

Monitor for neurological and digestive effects when combining Digestive Enzymes with L-Citrulline Malate. Amino acids can influence neurotransmitter production and interact with bioactive compounds in botanicals and supplements. Watch for: changes in mood, energy, or sleep patterns; digestive upset (nausea, bloating); headache; restlessness; or vivid dreams. Start at lower doses and increase gradually. Seek medical advice if you experience: persistent mood changes, rapid heartbeat, muscle stiffness, excessive drowsiness, or allergic symptoms. If you take any prescription medications (especially antidepressants or neurological drugs), consult your doctor before adding amino acid supplements.
