POSSIBLY SAFE ...when non-contaminated species of spirulina blue-green algae are used orally and appropriately (91713). The blue-green algae species Arthrospira platensis has been used with apparent safety in doses up to 19 grams daily for 2 months, or 10 grams daily for 6 months (18296,18300,18306,75944,91705,99703,104567,109965). The blue-green algae species Arthrospira fusiformis has been used with apparent safety in doses up to 4 grams daily for 3 months, or 1 gram daily for 12 months (15782,91717). Another blue-green algae species, Arthrospira maxima, has been used with apparent safety in a dose of 4.5 grams daily for up to 12 weeks (18297,99654,99655,102688). ...when non-contaminated, non-toxin producing strains of blue-green algae from the Aphanizomenon flos-aquae species are used orally and appropriately. Doses up to 1.6 grams daily have been used with apparent safety for up to 6 months (14842,18310). Some blue-green algae species can produce toxins called microcystins. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the tolerable daily intake of microcystins in adults is 0.04 mcg/kg (96549).
POSSIBLY UNSAFE ...when contaminated blue-green algae are used orally. Blue-green algae can be contaminated with heavy metals (including mercury, cadmium, lead, or arsenic), neurotoxins, and toxic microcystin-producing cyanobacteria such as Microcystis aeruginosa (9171,75966,91704,91711,96550). Microcystins are most commonly reported in the blue-green algae species Aphanizomenon flos-aquae harvested from Upper Klamath Lake in Oregon. The Oregon Department of Health has set a limit of 1 mcg of microcystin-LR equivalents per gram dry weight of blue-green algae, assuming consumption of about 2 grams/day by adults (91704,91713). However, many samples of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae have been reported to contain higher levels than this (9171,91704). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the tolerable daily intake of microcystins in adults is 0.04 mcg/kg (96549). When consumed orally, microcystins accumulate in the liver, binding to and inhibiting protein phosphatases, causing hepatocyte damage and possible tumor promotion (9171). Aphanizomenon flos-aquae can also produce neurotoxic compounds that may be present in supplements containing this organism (91704).
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY UNSAFE
when blue-green algae products are used orally.
Blue-green algae can accumulate heavy metals such as lead and mercury (91704,91711). They can also contain toxic microcystins produced by contaminating species of cyanobacteria such a Microcystis aeruginosa (91704). Children are more sensitive to poisoning by microcystins (3536). The Oregon Department of Health has set a limit for microcystins of 1 mcg per gram dry weight of blue-green algae, but some countries have set very low exposure limits of 0.2 mcg per day and 0.8 mcg per day for infants and children, respectively (91704).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using.
Some blue-green algae products, specifically those of the species Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, have been found to contain low amounts of beta-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA). BMAA is associated with neurodegenerative diseases, and breast milk has been shown to be a potential source of BMAA exposure in infants (96550).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately. Doses up to 240 mg daily have been used safely for up to a year (6252,6253,10622,11457,18281,18284,91104,91105,91106,91111)(96449,103298). Higher doses up to 3200 mg daily have been used safely, short-term (18283,110546). ...when used topically and appropriately. Bromelain has been used safely as a debriding agent for up to 4 hours (18275,91113,103297,108148,108149).

Below is general information about the interactions of the known ingredients contained in the product Rebound. 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, spirulina blue-green algae might increase the risk of bleeding if used with other anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs. However, this is unlikely.
Details
Spirulina blue-green algae have shown antiplatelet and anticoagulant effects in vitro (18311,18312,75892,92162,92163). However, one preliminary study in 24 patients receiving spirulina blue-green algae 2.3 grams daily for 2 weeks showed no effect on platelet activation or measures of clotting time (97202).
|
Theoretically, taking blue-green algae with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Details
Human research shows that spirulina blue-green algae can have hypoglycemic effects in patients with diabetes, at least some of whom were using antidiabetes drugs (18299). However, blue-green algae does not seem to improve glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients with diabetes (102689,109970). A meta-analysis of animal studies also suggests that spirulina blue-green algae have hypoglycemic effects (109970).
|
Theoretically, concurrent use of blue-green algae might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Details
|
Bromelain may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Details
There is one case report of a patient experiencing minor bruising while taking bromelain with naproxen (14806). Bromelain is thought to have antiplatelet activity (10639,14806,18285,18286,37234). Whether this interaction is of concern with topical bromelain is unclear. Interference with coagulation of burn wounds has been reported in a patient receiving bromelain-based enzymatic debridement. However, observational research has found that topical bromelain debridement is not associated with increases or decreases in laboratory markers of coagulation when compared with surgical debridement (110547).
|
Theoretically, bromelain might increase levels of tetracycline antibiotics.
Details
Laboratory research suggests that bromelain might increase the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics. However, a study in healthy adults reported no difference in tetracycline plasma levels when a 500 mg dose was taken with or without bromelain 80 mg (14296).
|
Theoretically, papain might increase the effects and side effects of warfarin.
Details
In one case report, a patient previously stable on warfarin was found to have an international normalization ratio (INR) of 7.4, which was attributed to ingestion of a supplement containing papain from papaya extract (613).
|
Theoretically, taking rutin with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Details
Animal research suggests that rutin has hypoglycemic effects (105299).
|
Serrapeptase might have fibrinolytic activity (13151,13152). Theoretically, taking serrapeptase with drugs that have antiplatelet or anticoagulant effects might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding. Some of these drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Anaprox, Naprosyn, others), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Below is general information about the adverse effects of the known ingredients contained in the product Rebound. 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, spirulina blue-green algae seem to be well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Abdominal cramps, bloating, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, flatulence, headache, nausea, and vomiting.
Dermatologic ...Orally, a severe rash has been reported in a 49-year-old woman after taking a spirulina blue-green algae supplement (species and dose unknown). After stopping the supplement, inflammatory myopathy with muscle weakness and elevated creatine kinase occurred. The condition resolved with corticosteroid and cyclophosphamide treatment (75936). In another case report, an 82 year-old woman developed a blistering skin condition over a 2-year period while taking spirulina blue-green algae (A. platensis, dose unknown). She had partly hemorrhagic bullae, secreting erosions and macerations. These symptoms resolved when the supplement was stopped and the patient was treated with oral prednisone, topical silver sulfadiazine, and topical triamcinolone / neomycin (75921).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, gastrointestinal complaints are amongst the most common adverse effects associated with spirulina blue-green algae, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps (19272,75924,91713,109969). Similarly, common adverse effects associated with the blue-green algae species Aphanizomenon flos-aquae are stomach upset, flatulence, diarrhea, and bloating (14842).
Hematologic ...Orally, three cases of mild gum bleeding and one case of mild bruising have been reported in patients taking spirulina blue-green algae (Cyactiv, Cerule LLC) 2. 3 grams daily (containing approximately 1 gram of phycocanin) for 2 weeks (97202).
Hepatic ...Orally, significant elevations of liver function tests within 2 weeks of starting a spirulina blue-green algae supplement (species and dose unknown) have been reported in a 52-year-old man stabilized on amlodipine, simvastatin, and acarbose. A biopsy showed feathery degeneration and ballooning of hepatic cells. Cholestasis was present, and an ex-vivo lymphocyte stimulation test for spirulina blue-green algae was positive. All drugs and the spirulina blue-green algae supplement were stopped, with return of the LFTs to normal (9172).
Immunologic
...Orally, urticarial rashes and pruritus have occurred as part of generalized allergic reactions to blue-green algae (91706,91711,91712).
In one case report, a 14-year-old male experienced anaphylaxis with urticaria, lip edema, and asthma 6 hours after taking five tablets of spirulina blue-green algae (A. platensis, strength unknown). He had a positive skin prick test. Oral challenge to an extract of the tablets, and IgE from his serum, reacted with the beta chain of C-phycocyanin from A. platensis (91712).
In another case report, a 17-year-old male with a history of multiple allergies developed rash, pruritus, angioedema, wheezing, and dyspnea within 10 minutes of taking spirulina blue-green algae (A. platensis) 300 mg. He had a positive skin test to A. platensis but no other ingredients of the tablets (91706).
Musculoskeletal ...Orally, after a 49-year-old woman stopped taking a spirulina blue-green algae supplement (species and dose unknown), the patient experienced inflammatory myopathy with muscle weakness and elevated creatine kinase. The condition resolved with corticosteroid and cyclophosphamide treatment (75936). Another case report describes acute rhabdomyolysis that occurred after consumption of spirulina (Arthrospira platensis, Hawaiian spirulina, Solgar Inc., Leonia, NJ) 3 grams daily for 1 month. The 24-year old man presented with weakness, myalgias, elevated creatine kinase and liver function tests, and myoglobinuria (75922).
General
...Orally, bromelain seems to be well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Diarrhea, flatulence, gastric upset, headache.
Topically: Pruritus, urticaria.
Dermatologic
...Topically, bromelain may cause dermal allergic reactions including urticaria, pruritus, and skin swelling (9184).
Redness, swelling, burning, pain at the application site, and cellulitis have also been reported rarely (108148,113513). In one case, a fixed drug eruption with pruritis near the groin was reported in a 33-year-old male taking bromelain 50 mg orally daily for 10 days. After discontinuation of bromelain and treatment with topical corticosteroid, the lesion resolved. Upon re-challenge with bromelain, the lesion reappeared in the same area (103300).
In another case report, a 61-year-old male with a history of chronic lower leg ulceration secondary to chronic venous hypertension and recurrent deep vein thrombosis on rivaroxaban presented with a deep-dermal burn on his lower calf. Bromelain-based topical enzymatic debridement agent Nexobrid 2 grams was applied to the burn site. Thirty minutes later, the patient experienced two instances of hemorrhage at the site of debridement. The patient was stabilized and treated with fluids, packed red cells, and tranexamic acid, and then the Nexobrid was removed (111656). Caution should be used in patients with underlying coagulopathies.
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, bromelain may cause gastrointestinal disturbances, including diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, flatulence, and abdominal pain (9184,18274,18282,96216,113513).
Immunologic
...Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergic reactions to bromelain may occur (9184).
If inhaled, bromelain may cause sensitization and allergic reactions such as asthma (37199,37215,37233). In case reports of occupational inhalation of bromelain, additional allergic symptoms included difficulty swallowing, throat itching, eye irritation, and rhinitis (37214).
General
...No adverse effects have been reported in adults.
However, a thorough evaluation of safety outcomes has not been conducted.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Gastrointestinal adverse effects, such as necrotizing enterocolitis, when recombinant human bile salt-stimulated lipase is used in premature infants.
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, when added to the formula or pasteurized breast milk consumed by premature infants, recombinant human bile salt-stimulated lipase (rhBSSL) can cause gastrointestinal adverse effects, including abdominal distension, flatulence, constipation, colic, abdominal pain, gastroenteritis, vomiting, regurgitation, and rectal bleeding (101940). Premature infants receiving rhBSSL also had a slightly higher rate of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) when compared with those receiving placebo. After review by a panel of experts, it was determined that the rate of confirmed or suspected NEC in infants consuming rhBSSL was 3.3%, compared with 0.5% in those receiving placebo. Although this rate of NEC is lower than the historical rate of occurrence in premature infants (11%), a possible increased risk for NEC cannot be ruled out (101940).
General
...Orally and topically, papain seems to be well tolerated when used short-term at appropriate doses.
Taking high oral doses may be unsafe.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Topically: Urticaria and pruritus in sensitive individuals.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Esophageal perforation and severe gastritis with high doses.
Dermatologic ...Topically, papain can cause itching (966). Urticarial reactions and itching have been reported in people occupationally exposed to papain, with papain confirmed as the causative agent by skin prick tests or radioallergosorbent tests (RAST) (95533,95534). In a randomized controlled trial assessing the effects of papain, trypsin, and chymotrypsin on adverse effects from radiotherapy, moderate to severe epitheliolysis was more frequent in the enzyme-treated group than the placebo group (67834). It is unclear if this adverse effect is due to papain, other enzymes, or the combination.
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, papain has been associated with diarrhea. In a randomized controlled trial assessing the effects of papain, trypsin, and chymotrypsin on adverse effects from radiotherapy, moderate to severe diarrhea was more frequent in the enzyme-treated group than the placebo group (67834). However, it is unclear if this adverse effect is due to papain, other enzymes, or the combination. Papain has also been associated with gastric ulcers and esophageal perforation in case reports of phytobezoars treated with papain (67848). In general, large amounts of papain can cause esophageal perforation (6). Ingestion of papaya latex (raw papain) can cause severe gastritis.
Genitourinary ...Orally, papain has been associated with hypernatremia in case reports of phytobezoars treated with papain (67848).
Immunologic ...Orally, papain may cause allergic reactions, including itchy watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, abdominal cramps, sweating, and diarrhea, in individuals sensitive to papain (6,967). Occupational exposure to airborne papain dust may also cause respiratory allergic reactions (95532,95533,95534,95535,95536).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Occupational exposure to airborne papain dust may cause respiratory allergic reactions. Symptoms include rhinitis, sneezing, conjunctivitis, dyspnea, wheezing, cough, and asthma. In most cases, papain is confirmed as the causative agent by skin prick tests, radioallergosorbent tests (RAST), or detection of papain-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) and IgG (95532,95533,95534,95535,95536).
General
...Orally, proteolytic enzymes are generally well tolerated.
See specific monographs for detailed safety information related to individual proteolytic enzymes.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Gastrointestinal upset.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Topically: Allergic reactions.
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, some patients taking proteolytic enzymes may have gastrointestinal complaints (101517).
Immunologic ...Proteolytic enzymes are commonly found in laundry detergents and pre-spotter products. Rarely, protease specific IgE positive tests possibly related to these products have occurred. Exposure may be airborne or topical (102705). In addition, in case reports, occupational exposure to the airborne proteolytic enzyme pepsin has resulted in allergic rhinoconjunctivitis or asthma (102706,102707).
General ...Orally, rutin is generally well tolerated.
Dermatologic ...Orally, rutin may cause flushing and rashes in some people (313).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, rutin may cause gastrointestinal disturbance in some people (313).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, rutin may cause headache in some people (313).
General ...Orally, serrapeptase seems to be well-tolerated. Some patients have reported epigastric pain, gastrointestinal upset, and nausea; however, these side effects appear to occur at the same rate as placebo (13152).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, some patients have reported experiencing epigastric pain, gastrointestinal upset, and nausea; however, these side effects appear to occur at the same rate as placebo (13152).
Immunologic ...There is a case report of bullous pemphigoid, an autoimmune subepidermal dermatosis, in an elderly man who took serrapeptase (13154).
