A quick safety check

Possible side effects: Nausea, bloating, gas, stomach pain or headache.

Before using it: If you are experiencing significant digestive distress, some functional protocols suggest dividing a larger dose (e.g., 5g in the morning and 5g in the evening). Discuss higher doses with your clinician first; Liver or kidney disease.
