- Milk thistle may cause allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to the Asteraceae family.
- Chitosan may theoretically cause a reaction in people with allergies to shellfish. Chitosan is derived from the chitin of shellfish. Avoid or use with caution in these individuals.
- Guar gum is contraindicated in cases of GI obstruction and in patients anatomically predisposed to luminal obstruction.
