Ingredients & minerals

High Oleic Safflower Oil

Inflammation when consumed in excess due to residual omega-6 fatty acids, potential oxidative stress if improperly stored

Sugar

Excessive intake associated with weight gain, dental caries, metabolic concerns

Soy Oil

High omega-6 content, oxidative instability, hexane solvent extraction, potential endocrine activity due to isoflavone residues

M. Alpina Oil

High omega-6 fatty acid content, potential pro-inflammatory effects with excessive intake

Ferrous sulfate

Gastrointestinal irritation, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, risk of iron overdose especially in children

Copper Sulfate

Potential toxicity at high doses, gastrointestinal irritation, liver and kidney damage with chronic exposure, not recommended for direct human supplementation without medical oversight

Folic acid

Excessive intake may mask vitamin B12 deficiency, potential effects on cancer risk at very high doses

Sodium selenate

Potential skin irritation and sensitization at higher concentrations, narrow safety margin for selenium exposure, possible selenium toxicity with excessive exposure
