Can I take Black cohosh and Vitamin B2 together?

Por que isso acontece

Black cohosh and vitamin B2 are processed by the body through different pathways. Vitamin B2 is a water-soluble vitamin that is absorbed in the small intestine and excreted through urine. Black cohosh is metabolised primarily by the liver. There is no evidence that they interfere with each other's absorption, metabolism, or effectiveness.

You can continue to take both supplements as directed. However, always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all supplements you are taking, especially if you have a history of liver problems, as black cohosh has been rarely linked to liver issues.

Gravidez

Do not use black cohosh during pregnancy. It may stimulate uterine contractions, potentially increasing the risk of miscarriage or premature labour.

Doença hepática

Black cohosh has been linked to rare but serious cases of liver failure. You must stop taking it and see a doctor immediately if you develop yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or severe stomach pain.

Hormone-sensitive conditions (e.g. breast cancer)

Because black cohosh may act like the hormone oestrogen, you should not use it if you have a history of breast cancer, uterine cancer, or endometriosis without specialist medical supervision.

Álcool

Black cohosh has been linked to rare but serious cases of liver damage. Because alcohol also puts strain on the liver, it is advisable to limit or avoid alcohol consumption while taking this supplement to reduce the risk of liver toxicity.
