Thank you fir that detailed and clear answer. Can inalso take lemon with cayenne while taking althea and metformin? Is there any decrease effect in althea?
Brief Answer:
Yes you can take lemon and cayenne.
Detailed Answer:
Hey again.
Yes of course you can take lemon with cayenne pepper that is a natural remedy and does not affect Althea or Metformin.
Of course, I surmise you are trying to lose weight, and NOTHING beats a reasonable sensible calorie - restricted diet and regular exercise.
Take care.
