What the product label says
The current back label advises users not to exceed the recommended dose and tells pregnant or nursing mothers, people under 18 and individuals with a known medical condition to consult a physician before use.
Ginkgo: bleeding and medication interactions
NCCIH says ginkgo leaf extract is generally well tolerated but can cause dizziness, gastrointestinal symptoms and headache. It may increase bleeding risk in people taking anticoagulants such as warfarin and can interact with other drugs.
Turmeric and curcumin considerations
NCCIH lists possible digestive side effects from oral turmeric/curcumin, including nausea, reflux, stomach upset, diarrhea and constipation. It also notes reports of liver injury involving some products formulated for increased curcumin bioavailability.
Zinc and total daily intake
The iGenics label lists 20 mg zinc per serving. NIH’s adult tolerable upper intake level for zinc is 40 mg/day from all sources. People who use multiple zinc-containing products should consider their combined intake and discuss it with a clinician when appropriate.
When to seek care rather than self-treat
Do not use a supplement to delay evaluation of sudden vision loss, new flashes or floaters, a dark curtain in the visual field, severe eye pain, trauma or other acute symptoms. Those situations can require prompt medical attention.
