Hi there!

While I believe that everyone has the best intentions and want to help others by recommending supplements, you still have to be careful even if something is "natural". Just because something is touted as being natural does not mean that it cannot have side effects or medication interactions. For example, vitamin K is a seemingly harmless, natural vitamin. But people who are on blood thinners can have clotting, heart attacks or even strokes if they take vitamin K while on such medication. Hell, cocaine is a "natural" drug.

Grape seed extract does have reported side effects, and some medication interactions. It can cause abdominal pain, cough, headache, nausea, sore throat and dry or itchy scalp. It can also inhibit blood clotting, which can be very dangerous. And if you are taking blood thinners GSE can amplify the effects of the medication and can result in uncontrollable bleeding. Also, GSE taken with vitamin C can increase blood pressure.

So please exercise caution with these supplements. We're all on a lot of meds and sometimes there can be pretty severe interactions! Just google and you can find this info.
