If you are taking blood pressure medications, use caution, as this supplement may also lower blood pressure.

If you experience hypoglycemia, stop the supplement and speak with your doctor about possibly altering your regimen.

With this supplement the L-arginine can cause an allergic response or make swelling in the airways worse.
If you are prone to allergies or asthma use with caution.
