Suggest Ways To Manage Toxicity While On Glipizide And Rosuvastatin

Hello... I m taking supplements at the moment to offset cold injuries in the field. My intent is to stop taking the Mg and Zn while I change to Chromium Picolinate, Lecithan and Hawthorn. Currently I take Metephormin, Sitiglyptin, Glipizide, Plavix, Rosuvastatin, Levothyroxin, Alpurinol.... Question 1: What toxicity or adverse reactions for these supplements and current meds? Question 2: Will these new supplements interact with my Winter supplements or cause adversity?

Hi,

Lecithin can only do good things. Hawthorn, it is hard to say. People can have plant allergies. chromium has soft evidence that it lowers blood sugar. The diabetes medications work well. IF the chromium did work, then there is the risk of lowering the blood glucose too much. This could in theory work with the other supplements but not too likely and it can be assessed by checking the blood glucose level.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
