Frequently Asked Questions
7. Who should not take CraniYums?
CraniYums have not been studied during pregnancy, nursing or in children and so are not recommended for these groups.
Individuals on blood pressure medication or antidepressants are advised to discuss the use of neurotransmitter dietary supplements with their physician before taking them.
8. Are there any medications that interfere with CraniYums?
There is a very low, yet theoretical possibility that dietary supplements that support neurotransmitter production could affect blood pressure or interact with certain antidepressants, called MAO inhibitors. In over 2000 clinic patients using neurotransmitter amino acid precursor supplements, no negative interactions with blood pressure or antidepressant medications were experienced. As an important precaution, however, individuals on any medication are advised to first discuss the use of dietary supplements with their physician before taking them.
9. Can CraniYums raise serotonin and dopamine levels too high and cause problems?
Laboratory measurements of CraniYums absorption have been done and CraniYums safely increase brain levels of serotonin and dopamine at doses recommended. In over 2000 clinic patients using the supplements as directed, excess absorption was not encountered.
10. What are the side effects of CraniYums?
When first starting neurotransmitter precursor supplements, some people complain of mild headaches, stomach upset, or mouth dryness. These symptoms are mild and temporary. They can be managed by: drinking plenty of fluids and eating small amounts of food before dosing.
Some people experience drowsiness initially (from the serotonin component). If drowsiness occurs, one should avoid driving or operating machinery.
Rarely, some individuals feel jittery or over-stimulated. These side effects are relieved by lowering the dose.
