Interactions & contraindications
Processed by the liver

Can alter how quickly the body clears certain medications, raising or lowering their effective dose.
May affect immune activity
Watch for: Immunosuppressants (for transplant or autoimmune conditions)
Immune-stimulating herbs can work against immunosuppressive therapy.
