I am concerned at the high amount of quercetin in this product, much higher than recommended dose. Anyone else notice this?

One must ask recommended by whom and for what purpose. If the recommender is recommending the product for one specific purpose and you are taking it for another, the recommendation does not apply to you.

This is the first time anyone has said anything about the dosage - Most people take 500 mg daily and up that dosage during allergy season 1000 or 1500 - you can call Now's Customer Service at 1-800-999-8069 - and they may be of some help.

I have taken this product few times (for hives) and had no problems. My sister who is usually very sick during ambrosia pollination season takes this product 2 months before it starts and had no problem so far and managed to get through the season with just mild discomfort (vs.severe allergic response). My niece who had sinusitis and allergy had just completed her first bottle and had no problems.

I questioned Bulk Supplements about this and here is what they said: "Hello Eric, Looking into this, 1/2 teaspoon is 2500 mg; you were correct on the 5grams; 1 teaspoon should be 5000mg and then 1 1/2 teaspoons should be 7500. We will be correcting the label issue asap. Thank you and if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you and have a great day. Shanyel BulkSupplements.com " Really?? How can I trust a supplement company when they can't even get their dosage correct? So this product is basically half the dosage for full price. I will be staying away from them and I strongly suggest everyone else does as well. This is incredibly concerning and puts their credibility into question.

I can not Find the Percentage amount. On the bottle the first thing it says is " Due to the High Menthol Content" that's, All I know. You might contact, Plant Therapy's, Web Site & see if That can Help You!

YES, and that is very high. I get it at our local supermarket for 2 for $5.00 on sale; however, it's rarely over that anyway - there. I cannot figure out why it's over $3.80/bottle purchasing in quantity from Amazon, yet less in a regular supermarket - their variety, contents, label wrap, et al are identical, and so is the product. My doctor definitely favors this product, and doubled my daily intake to 2 bottles because my protein levels are low (I'm on chemotherapy). This is not worth the high corst. Take a vitamin pill (1/2 twice a day), and mix 1 C non-fat dry milk with 1 C of regular milk (not low fat, now 2%, etc), add your own flavoring and ya'got it, except that amounts to about 100 GM of protein.

Good day VTG, I think you are asking in regards to many who are Hypothyroid, that are told to limit their intake of soy but maybe it is just a general question? It is my understanding that there is not a huge amount in most supplements so little that the product is more beneficial than not, but it is wise to know how much soy your are getting each day. I can get by with having some soy as I don't ingest huge amounts of it so for me I weigh the pros and cons. I don't personally have a bad reaction to soy if it is small amounts. I hope this helps, as I do understand the healthcare journey and that being pro-active is a huge undertaking and can be frustrating. I wish you well and good luck on your journey. Sincerely iamxoxo

The most recent container I have which is only a few months old clearly states it has only 1mg Manganese (as Manganese Ascorbate) per serving and serving size is 3 capsules. Also stated is that the 1mg is 50% of daily requirement. So at 10 mg per capsule a 3 capsule serving would be 30mg! That would be 15x the recommended daily requirement and yes, overdosing! Possibly something may be wrong with the label? Or the supplement? Either way, it would be ideal to contact the seller and Nutramax Laboratories and question/report it. I've been buying this product and other's manufactured by Nutramax Laboratories for years for myself and patients and have never had a problem. Last thing to check is units. Make sure they are not using micrograms vs mg units before reporting. Some companies will utilize different units when changing labeling. Hope I was helpful. Good luck!

I was first on Garcina Cambogia Extract from Sam's club, and read that the product shouldn't have CALICIUM in it. It wasn't working so I took it back and ordered it from Amazon. I'm just getting over pneumonia, so I haven't taken too much yet from my Amazon order. I just wish all these famous people like Rachel Ray, Mariah Carey and some of the others would tell the truth.

Hmmm my bottle said one before Two meals. I wouldnt take anymore than the bottle says. Also if your looking for the garcinia cambogia as was on Dr. Oz I recommend going to your nearest health food store. I gave away the ones you see here!

YES!!! I was casually taking that much and more and just yesterday I went through the most horrible side effects, so that I can no longer take it all. It can cause lactic acidosis, which you can look up, and terrible stomach pains. It was working great for me, but then yesterday I thought I was going to die. Be very cautious!

Not true! I put it in my review of the product too, but I have been taking this vitamin off an on 2-4 times a week for about 5 months and my B12 has gone from 90 to 491 on a strict vegan diet. The vitamins are working great for me.

Seems like the amount of detox herbs in the teabags really were strong enough to trigger a detox! Sorry to hear of what may have been an unwelcome experience but this is why in my Detox book Detox Your Body in 3 Steps: How to Detox Your Body Using Detox Supplements Superfoods, And Simple Home Detox Techniques taking the Detox formulas was the last stage of Detox! And that was followed by weeks of prep!I hope you won't give up on Detox but maybe go at it step by step next time! However horrible it is to see what looks like acne on your face and elsewhere it is much better than having those toxins sitting inside you!Honest!:-) Seems like the amount of detox herbs in the teabags really were strong enough to trigger a detox!

You might want to check on that Nobel Prize. It seems that the ingredients are the result of testing a whole lot of foods, herbs, etc., for possible telomere support. Nothing wrong with that but some of the claims are getting a bit extravagant. I suspect the better and more varied your diet the less effect this product will have on you. Not sure...but do your homework.http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/2009/illpres.html#background

yes, this is misleading because the ingredients by law need to be listed in strongest-quantity-first order. So how can the higher amount of 5% B3 be listed after the lower 1% retinol? My understanding is that it should be the other way around unless maybe there is a missing decimal point before the 5% and it is really .5% B3. I am just a consumer and don't know much, but this is my guess.

Good question. I researched the scientific literature and concluded that the amount of parabens present in this product is not worrisome for me. I suggest you read the literature available on line through PubMed in order to feel comfortable with the product.

Honestly I did not hear a disease amount on Dr. Oz. I did watch the show but, I will definitely look for another brand with a much higher mg! Thanks for the question.... I will benefit from a higher mg I'm sure.

We just recently (a few days ago) made a switch from 120 capsules to a 180 capsule count. The milligram count is the exact same so in reality no one has been short changed. You probably purchased the 120 count and then checked back and saw 180 now. But again we assure they are both a full 30 days supply. Thank youIsland Vibrance
