Allergic Reactions

Original post in this thread

[deleted] · 3 points

Has anyone experienced allergic reactions to some herbal nootropics? (Mainly fatigue, or possibly lowered ferritin levels from consistent allergic reactions)

For example:

* Ashwagandha
* Rhodiola Rosea
* Bacopa
* Turmeric/Curcumin
* Maca (gelatinized)
