Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Skin, Hair & Nails Health. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when taken orally and appropriately. Bacillus coagulans spores in doses up to 6 billion colony-forming units (CFUs) daily have been used with apparent safety in clinical studies for up to 3 months (92726,92730,92734,92735,92736,92739,92740,104231,105169)(107611,107612,107614). Lower doses of B. coagulans up to 100 million CFUs daily have been used with apparent safety in clinical studies for up to one year (92738). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of non-viable, heat-killed B. coagulans formulations when used orally.
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY SAFE
when taken orally and appropriately.
Bacillus coagulans spores in doses up to 100 million colony-forming units (CFUs) daily have been used with apparent safety in clinical studies in infants of most ages for up to one year (92729,92733,92738) and in doses of one billion CFUs in children aged 6-8 years for 3 months (107615). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of Bacillus coagulans in preterm infants with a birth weight under 1000 grams. Cases of bacteremia have occurred rarely in preterm infants given other probiotics (102416,111610,111612,111613,111850,111852,111853). The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning about cases of serious infections caused by probiotics reported in very preterm or very low birth weight infants under 1000 grams (111610). Similarly, the American Academy of Pediatrics does not support the routine administration of probiotics to these infants due to conflicting data on safety and efficacy (111608).

Below is general information about the interactions of the known ingredients contained in the product Skin, Hair & Nails Health. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
Theoretically, taking antibiotics with Bacillus coagulans might decrease the effectiveness of B. coagulans.
 Details
B. coagulans preparations usually contain live and active organisms. Therefore, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and B. coagulans preparations by at least two hours.
|
Theoretically, black pepper might increase the effects and side effects of amoxicillin.
Details
Animal research shows that taking piperine, a constituent of black pepper, with amoxicillin increases plasma levels of amoxicillin (29269). This has not been reported in humans.
|
Theoretically, black pepper might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Details
In vitro research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, seems to inhibit platelet aggregation (29206). This has not been reported in humans.
|
Theoretically, black pepper might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Details
Animal research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, can reduce blood glucose levels (29225). Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.
|
Theoretically, black pepper might increase blood levels of atorvastatin.
Details
Animal research shows that taking piperine, a constituent of black pepper, 35 mg/kg can increase the maximum serum concentration of atorvastatin three-fold (104188). This has not been reported in humans.
|
Theoretically, black pepper might increase blood levels of carbamazepine, potentially increasing the effects and side effects of carbamazepine.
Details
One clinical study in patients taking carbamazepine 300 mg or 500 mg twice daily shows that taking a single 20 mg dose of purified piperine, a constituent of black pepper, increases carbamazepine levels. Piperine may increase carbamazepine absorption by increasing blood flow to the GI tract, increasing the surface area of the small intestine, or inhibiting cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) in the gut wall. Absorption was significantly increased by 7-10 mcg/mL/hour. The time to eliminate carbamazepine was also increased by 4-8 hours. Although carbamazepine levels were increased, this did not appear to increase side effects (16833). In vitro research also shows that piperine can increase carbamazepine levels by 11% in a time-dependent manner (103819).
|
Theoretically, black pepper might increase the effects and side effects of cyclosporine.
Details
In vitro research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, increases the bioavailability of cyclosporine (29282). This has not been reported in humans.
|
Theoretically, black pepper might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A1.
Details
In vitro research suggests that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, inhibits CYP1A1 (29213). This has not been reported in humans.
|
Theoretically, black pepper might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2B1.
Details
In vitro research suggests that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, inhibits CYP2B1 (29332). This has not been reported in humans.
|

Details
|
Theoretically, black pepper might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Details
|
Theoretically, black pepper might increase blood levels of lithium due to its diuretic effects. The dose of lithium might need to be reduced.
Details
Black pepper is thought to have diuretic properties (11).
|
Black pepper might increase blood levels of nevirapine.
Details
Clinical research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, increases the plasma concentration of nevirapine. However, no adverse effects were observed in this study (29209).
|
Theoretically, black pepper might increase levels of P-glycoprotein substrates.
Details
|
Theoretically, black pepper might increase the sedative effects of pentobarbital.
Details
Animal research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, increases pentobarbital-induced sleeping time (29214).
|
Black pepper might increase blood levels of phenytoin.
Details
Clinical research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, seems to increase absorption, slow elimination, and increase levels of phenytoin (537,14442). Taking a single dose of black pepper 1 gram along with phenytoin seems to double the serum concentration of phenytoin (14375). Consuming a soup with black pepper providing piperine 44 mg/200 mL of soup along with phenytoin also seems to increase phenytoin levels when compared with consuming the same soup without black pepper (14442).
|
Black pepper might increase blood levels of propranolol.
Details
Clinical research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, seems to increase absorption and slow elimination of propranolol (538).

Details
In vitro research shows that Boswellia serrata gum resin inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes (21178).
|
Theoretically, Boswellia serrata might alter the effects of immunosuppressive drugs.
Details
Some in vitro research suggests that Boswellia serrata extracts might inhibit mediators of autoimmune disorders such as leukotrienes and reduce production of antibodies and cell-mediated immunity (12432,12435,12437,12438). However, other in vitro research suggests that, when coupled with calcium ions, boswellic acids containing the keto group have immunostimulant properties within specific cell signaling pathways (21180).

Below is general information about the adverse effects of the known ingredients contained in the product Skin, Hair & Nails Health. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
General
...Orally, Bacillus coagulans is well tolerated.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: There is concern that probiotics may cause infections in some people.
Immunologic ...Since many probiotic preparations contain live and active microorganisms, there is some concern that they might cause pathogenic infection in some patients. Bacteremia and sepsis have been reported in patients with indwelling or central venous catheters or patients who are severely ill and/or immunocompromised, including preterm infants, that were using probiotic products (4380,8561,13008,13070,90298,102416,103444,105138,105140,105141)(107543,107597,107599,111610,111612,111613,111850,111852,111853). However, reports of pathogenic colonization in relatively healthy patients with intact immune systems who do not have indwelling or central venous catheters are extremely rare (4380,4389,4390,4391,4393,4398,105139,107543,107545,107546,107547).
General
...Orally, black pepper seems to be well tolerated when used in the amounts found in food or when taken as a medicine as a single dose.
Topically and as aromatherapy, black pepper oil seems to be well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Burning aftertaste, dyspepsia, and reduced taste perception.
Inhalation: Cough.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Allergic reaction in sensitive individuals.
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, black pepper can cause a burning aftertaste (5619) and dyspepsia (38061). Single and repeated application of piperine, the active constituent in black pepper, to the tongue and oral cavity can decrease taste perception (29267). By intragastric route, black pepper 1.5 grams has been reported to cause gastrointestinal microbleeds (29164). It is not clear if such an effect would occur with oral administration.
Immunologic ...In one case report, a 17-month-old male developed hives, red eyes, facial swelling, and a severe cough following consumption of a sauce containing multiple ingredients. Allergen skin tests were positive to both black pepper and cayenne, which were found in the sauce (93947).
Ocular/Otic ...Topically, ground black pepper can cause redness of the eyes and swelling of the eyelids (5619).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...When inhaled through the nose as an olfactory stimulant, black pepper oil has been reported to cause cough in one clinical trial (29162).
General
...Orally, Boswellia serrata extract is generally well-tolerated.
For information on the safety of Boswellia serrata when applied topically or used as aromatherapy, see the Frankincense monograph.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, heartburn, itching, nausea.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Large amounts of Boswellia serrata gum resin can cause bezoar formation.
Dermatologic ...Orally, Boswellia serrata extract (5-Loxin) has been associated with itching at doses of 100-250 mg daily (17948).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, Boswellia serrata extract may cause diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and heartburn (1708,12432,12438,17948,17949,17950,21149,109567). A case of a large gastrointestinal bezoar has been reported in a 17-year-old female who chewed and swallowed large quantities of boswellia gum resin (Boswellia species not specified) for celiac disease (36914).
Musculoskeletal ...Orally, Boswellia serrata extract (5-Loxin) has been associated with one case of foot edema and four cases of generalized weakness in one clinical study (17948).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, Boswellia serrata extract may cause dizziness, headache, and vertigo. In one clinical study, nearly 11% of patients taking a specific Boswellia serrata extract (K-Vie) reported headache. Dizziness and vertigo were also reported, but at lower rates (109567). In another study, headache was reported in one patient taking a specific Boswellia serrata extract (5-Loxin) (17948).
Psychiatric ...Orally, one case of mania is reported in a 73-year-old male who took Boswellia powder mixed with honey for 3 days. The patient recovered after hospitalization and treatment with olanzapine (110526).
General ...Orally, collagen peptides seem to be well tolerated.
Dermatologic ...Orally, a case of a mild skin rash has been reported for a patient who used a specific collagen peptide-containing product (BioCell Collagen) (28680).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, collagen peptides may cause nausea, dyspepsia, diarrhea, and flatulence, but these adverse effects are rare (101622,104639).
