Caffeine
Guarana seed and green tea leaf contain natural caffeine. If you are sensitive, it can cause jitters or poor sleep when taken late. Take Sugar Defender Pro in the morning before breakfast and count it with your coffee; the FDA cites 400 mg a day as generally safe for healthy adults. See caffeine guide.
Blood sugar and medication
Chromium (NIH ODS), gymnema (MedlinePlus) and Panax ginseng (NCCIH) may lower blood sugar. Combined with insulin or other diabetes medicines, that could cause lows. Know the signs of low blood sugar and talk to your doctor first. See Sugar Defender Pro and metformin.
