Brief Answer:
any traditional or non traditional medication can cause a reaction

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Either of them can cause this allergic reaction.

It is possible to have an allergic reaction to any chemical agent. There are some persons that react to iodine, this is the reason that these persons would not be able to have certain imaging techniques done (iodine used in these techniques).

It is also possible that you reacted to an active or inactive ingredient in the other supplement.

A person can react to any traditional or non traditional medication

If wish to determine which is the likely cause you would need to discontinue both for at least a week.

Then consider restarting only one, if you have no problem with this idea. Use alone for at least three days.
If you notice a reaction before this point, you may discontinue .

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
