Cautions

This formula contains caffeine and should be taken with care by anyone taking MAO-inhibitors or SSRI antidepressants. People with heart problems, kidney disorders, stomach ulcers, and psychological disorders (particularly anxiety) should not take tea extracts except under the supervision of a health care professional. Pregnant women should limit their consumption of tea and tea extracts because high caffeine intakes have been associated with increased risk of miscarriage and low birth weight. People who consume excessive amounts of caffeine (including caffeine from tea and tea extracts) for prolonged periods of time may experience irritability, insomnia, heart palpitation, and dizziness. Caffeine overdose can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, and loss of appetite. If you are consuming a lot of caffeine and start to vomit or have abdominal spasms, you may have caffeine poisoning. Lower your caffeine intake and see your health care provider if your symptoms are severe.
