Members OnlyAnswered from the figures on this page

When should I take feverfew?

The label of the one feverfew product we graded says to take it with a meal and split into two or more doses a day.

Can I take feverfew with my meds?

Some supplements can change how meds work or are absorbed. Members have every product checked against the meds in their Health Profile before it joins their protocol.
