This site lists five specific points under "Talk to your doctor first, or skip it if you" — worth reading each one individually alongside the separate "sensible fit" list.
What the five points actually are
Why the first and last points carry the most medical weight
- Take thyroid medication — Bacopa may affect thyroid hormone levels
- Take sedatives, or drugs that act on acetylcholine such as some dementia, bladder or allergy medicines
- Have a mushroom allergy, a stomach ulcer or a slow heart rate
- Are pregnant, nursing or under 18
- Want a treatment for diagnosed dementia or Alzheimer's disease — this is not one
💊 Medical note: Talk to your doctor before starting if you take thyroid medication, sedatives, or drugs that act on acetylcholine, if you have a mushroom allergy, stomach ulcer or slow heart rate, or if you are pregnant, nursing or under 18.
