LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally in food amounts. Edible oils containing high amounts of oleic acid are commonly used in foods (26466,90681,94452,101821,101824,101828,101830,101838). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of oleic acid when used as medicine.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using in amounts greater than those commonly found in foods.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally in doses up to 100 mEq total potassium daily, not to exceed 200 mEq in a 24-hour period (95010,107989). Oral potassium chloride and potassium citrate are FDA-approved prescription products (95010,107989). Larger doses increase the risk of hyperkalemia (15). ...when administered intravenously (IV) at appropriate infusion rates (95011). Parenteral potassium is an FDA-approved prescription product (15,95011). A tolerable upper intake level (UL) for potassium has not been established; however, potassium levels should be monitored in individuals at increased risk for hyperkalemia, such as those with kidney disease, heart failure, and adrenal insufficiency (100310,107966).
CHILDREN: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally and appropriately in dietary amounts.
A tolerable upper intake level (UL) has not been established for healthy individuals (6243,100310).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally in dietary amounts of 40-80 mEq daily (15).
A tolerable upper intake level (UL) has not been established for healthy individuals (100310).
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately in amounts commonly found in foods (7135,10470,92135). It is estimated that the average dietary intake of silicon is 20-50 mg daily (110029); however, there is currently no established recommended dietary allowance or tolerable upper intake level for silicon (7135,92136,95009,110029).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods (7135,10470).
It is estimated that the average dietary intake of silicon is 20-50 mg daily (110029). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of silicon when used in larger, medicinal amounts; avoid using.

Theoretically, oleic acid might increase the effects of antidiabetes drugs. Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes taking oral hypoglycemic drugs shows that eating a diet rich in oleic acid from olive oil decreases fasting blood glucose levels when compared to eating a diet rich in linoleic acid from sunflower oil (8132). It is unknown if taking oleic acid supplements would have this effect or if this change is clinically significant. Until more is known, use caution. Dose adjustment may be necessary. Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Using ACEIs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
 Details
ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion (95628). Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia (15,23207). However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels (95628).

Using ARBs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
Details
ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion (95628). Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia (15,23207). However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels (95628).

Concomitant use increases the risk of hyperkalemia.

Using potassium-sparing diuretics with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia (15).

Below is general information about the adverse effects of the known ingredients contained in the product Hydrogen Boost. 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, oleic acid generally well tolerated when used as part of oils and fats in the diet (26466,90681,94452,101821,101824,101828,101830,101838). Temporary burning in the mouth or throat has occurred in some patients (101848).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, oleic acid has caused temporary burning in the mouth or throat in some patients in one clinical study (101848).
General
...Orally or intravenously, potassium is generally well-tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Abdominal pain, belching, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, and vomiting.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
All ROAs: High potassium levels can cause arrhythmia, heart block, hypotension, and mental confusion.
Cardiovascular ...Orally or intravenously, high potassium levels can cause hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, heart block, or cardiac arrest (15,16,3385,95011,95626,95630).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally or intravenously, high doses of potassium can cause, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and flatulence (95010,95011). Bleeding duodenal ulcers have also been associated with ingestion of slow-release potassium tablets (69625,69672).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally or intravenously, high potassium levels can cause paresthesia, generalized weakness, flaccid paralysis, listlessness, vertigo, or mental confusion (15,16,3385,95011).
General
...Orally, silicon in the amounts found in food and water is not associated with adverse effects.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Inhaled: Crystalline silicon dioxide in the form of quartz dust found in industrial and occupational settings is associated with an increased risk of diseases such as silicosis, tuberculosis, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, glomerulonephritis, vasculitis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Cardiovascular ...Case control studies have shown that occupational exposure to silicon dioxide-containing compounds may cause vasculitis (75114). Patients with occupational pulmonary silicosis may develop microscopic polyangiitis (inflammation of the blood vessels in the nose, sinuses, throat, lungs, and kidneys, also known as Wegener's granulomatosis).
Dermatologic ...Occupational silica exposure may be a risk factor for scleroderma, particularly in males (75099).
Genitourinary
...Limited reports in humans indicate that long-term use of large amounts of antacids containing magnesium trisilicate may be associated with urolithiasis and silicon-containing stones (11760,11861,75075,75103).
However, fewer than 30 cases associated with antacids containing silicates have been reported, despite these products being commercially available since the 1930s. Although exceptionally rare, silicon dioxide kidney stones can also occur without magnesium trisilicate ingestion (11556). Their formation is caused by an acidic urinary pH. In at least one case, urine alkalinization resulted in resolution of the symptoms (75075).
Case-control studies have shown that occupational exposure to silicon dioxide is related to antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis (75114). High silicon levels in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis have been associated with nephropathy (75089).
Hepatic ...High silicon levels in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis have been associated with liver disease (75089).
Musculoskeletal ...High silicon levels in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis have been associated with bone disease (75089). A meta-analysis suggests that the risk of rheumatoid arthritis is elevated with occupational exposure to silicon dioxide (75078).
Neurologic/CNS ...High silicon levels in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis have been associated with neuropathy (75089).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Occupational exposure to crystalline silicon dioxide dust is associated with an increased risk of pulmonary diseases such as silicosis, tuberculosis, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung cancer (75076,75081,75084,75114). Patients with occupational pulmonary silicosis may develop microscopic polyangiitis (inflammation of the blood vessels in the nose, sinuses, throat, lungs, and kidneys, also known as Wegener's granulomatosis). Meta-analyses suggest that occupational exposure to silicon dioxide increases the risk of lung cancer (75085,75095,75115). An analysis of 19 studies shows that lung cancer risk is approximately 2 times higher for those with silicosis (75115). It is not clear whether silicon dioxide is carcinogenic in the absence of silicosis (75083).
