Seek medical advice if you experience: persistent digestive problems, unusual fatigue, signs of allergic reaction, or any new symptom that concerns you.

What to tell your doctor

No urgent need to discuss, but always keep your doctor informed of your full supplement and medication list. Say: "I take Soy and ZMA — is that OK?"
