Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Phyto-Gen Gluco-gen. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
LIKELY SAFE ...when the fruit (nut), leaf, or hull is consumed in amounts normally found in foods (4912,6431,8476,8477).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when the leaf extract is used orally at doses of up to 200 mg for up to 3 months (97749,97750).
POSSIBLY UNSAFE ...when the bark is used orally or topically, due to its juglone content (12). When applied topically, juglone-containing bark can cause skin irritation. When used orally on a daily basis, juglone-containing bark is associated with increased risk of tongue cancer and lip leukoplakia (2,12). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of the fruit, leaf, or hull when used orally in medicinal amounts or when applied topically.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: LIKELY SAFE
when the fruit (nut), leaf, or hull is consumed in amounts normally found in foods (4912).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: POSSIBLY UNSAFE
when the bark is used orally or topically (12); avoid using.
There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of the fruit, leaf, or hull when used orally in medicinal amounts during pregnancy and lactation; avoid using.
LIKELY SAFE ...when olive fruit is used orally and appropriately in amounts commonly found in foods.
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when olive leaf extract is used orally and appropriately. Olive leaf extract providing 51-100 mg oleuropein daily has been used with apparent safety for 6-8 weeks (92245,92247,101860). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of olive fruit extract when used in amounts greater than those found in foods.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; stick with amounts commonly found in foods.
LIKELY SAFE ...when applied topically and appropriately (2,12). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of poplar for its other uses.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using.

General
...Orally, the fruit (nut) of English walnut is well tolerated (8476,8477); however, it can cause softening of stools and mild bloating (6431).
Oral allergy syndrome may occur in people who are allergic to English walnuts. This is characterized by itching of the oral cavity immediately after consumption. Rarely this syndrome may cause swelling of the lips and tongue (angioedema) (8479). English walnut leaf extract has been reported to cause gastrointestinal adverse events, especially mild diarrhea (97750). Daily use of English walnut bark is associated with increased risk of tongue cancer and lip leukoplakia due to its juglone content (2,12).
Topically, English walnut hull preparations can lead to yellow or brown discoloration of skin and mucous membranes due to its juglone content. It can also cause contact dermatitis (12,12980).
Dermatologic ...Topically, English walnut hull preparations, which contain juglone, can cause a temporary yellow or brown discoloration of skin and mucous membranes. It can also cause contact dermatitis (12,12980).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, the fruit (nut) of English walnut might cause softening of stools and mild bloating (6431). Oral allergy syndrome may occur in people who are allergic to English walnuts. This is characterized by itching of the oral cavity immediately after consumption. Rarely this syndrome may cause swelling of the lips and tongue (angioedema) (8479). Walnut leaf extract has been reported to cause gastrointestinal adverse events, especially mild diarrhea, in 39% of adults in one study (97750). Daily use of walnut bark is associated with increased risk of tongue cancer and lip leukoplakia due to its juglone content (2,12).
Immunologic
...Tree nuts, which include English walnuts, can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Due to the prevalence of this allergy in the general population, tree nuts are classified as a major food allergen in the United States (105410).
Oral allergy syndrome may occur in people who are allergic to English walnuts. This is characterized by itching of the oral cavity immediately after consumption. Rarely this syndrome may cause swelling of the lips and tongue (angioedema) (8479).
General
...Orally, olive fruit is well tolerated when used in typical food amounts.
Olive leaf extract seems to be well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Headache and stomach discomfort.
Dermatologic ...Orally, one patient in one clinical trial reported bad skin and acne after using olive leaf extract (101860).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, three patients in one clinical trial reported stomach ache after using olive leaf extract (101860).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, three patients in one clinical trial reported headache after using olive leaf extract (101860).
Psychiatric ...In one case report, a 67-year-old female experienced irritability, anger, a lack of control, and feelings of sadness and negativity after consuming a multi-ingredient product containing olive leaf extract 5 grams, horseradish root, and eyebright daily for 38 days. All psychiatric symptoms disappeared within days of stopping the combined product. It is hypothesized that the hydroxytyrosol component of olive leaf extract contributed to these symptoms due to its chemical similarity to dopamine; however, it is not clear if these symptoms were due to the olive leaf extract or to the other ingredients (96245).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Olive tree pollen can cause seasonal respiratory allergy (1543).
General ...Topically, occasional allergic skin reactions can occur with the use of poplar (2).
Immunologic ...Topically, occasional allergic skin reactions can occur with the use of poplar (2). Poplar contains salicin. However, there are no reports of aspirin-type allergic reactions with the use of salicin-rich plants (12).
