I have a lot of allergies so very hesitant in trying any different supplements.
I'm the same way, Kandy. Sometimes it seems like I'm allergic to everything! I have to be extremely careful with supplements and herbal teas. Often, teas contain things I'm allergic to, such as hibiscus or chamomile. It's so important to check those labels!
it is very interesting how we can develop new allergies, sensitivities at any age. I am more sensitive now to supplements, teas , spices than I was a few years ago.
Yes, it's really amazing how unpredictable allergies can be- especially food allergies. You never know how severe a reaction will be, so you have to be prepared for anything!
