Mixing vitamin C and Acai Berry Detox

07/01/2009

Question:

Hi, I started taking Acai Berry Detox-2 capsules in the morning and then the Daily Source Natural Vitamin C-1 capsule in the evening and it worked out fine, but this morning, I decided to take them 1 hour apart and I just felt so awful that I couldn`t go in to work. My head was spinning, my heart felt like there was a cold on it, and I couldn`t breathe too well. I probably won`t take these together anymore, but I was just wondering if it`s alright to even take these meds. They`re not Doctor prescribed.

Answer:

No interactions have been reported between vitamin C and the acai berry. The Acai Berry Detox-2 is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. It may contain ingredients other than acai berries.

Please talk to your doctor about your symptoms. The symptoms may have another cause. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if using the Acai Berry Detox product is appropriate for you.
