Generally, the answer is NO but as with any product or food, allergic reactions can occur. K.S. is a food based (plant and animal) formula.  The ingredients are typically considered safe well tolerated by most people.  There is always a chance that someone may have a reaction to an ingredient and most people will require a short adjustment period to the extra fiber intake.  It is always recommended to start K.S. at a lower daily dose. Please see dosage instructions. (1 to 2 tsp) and gradually increase to 3 tbsp. per day.  As always, it is recommended that you consult your doctor concerning any diet or supplement changes or additions.

We recommend taking K.S. at least 2 hours apart from any medications.  As always, we recommend you consult with your physician. We cannot diagnose medical conditions, medications, or treatments you are receiving or provide medical advice. Please consult your personal doctors who are familiar with your specific conditions and/or medications.

Every ingredient in KS is scientifically lab tested for purity and quality when it is received and because KS is a whole food-based product there is a “shelf life” on each ingredient. KS Original Granular Powder formula stays fresh for 18-24 months from manufacturing. We recommend storing KS in the zip-sealed airtight pouch it comes in and consuming within 60 days of opening. To enhance freshness, you may also store your product in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container to keep it dry. KS CAPSULES stay fresh for 18-24 months from manufacturing. There is a best buy date stamped on all of our products.

Yes.  It is very important to be consistent with your daily consumption of K.S.  Any interruption in the intake schedule will cause variations in the effectiveness of the supplement and your results will be diminished. If you want to have a “true reading” we suggest having lab work (Creatinine, BUN levels and GFR rate) measured before starting K.S.  We recommend consuming K.S. for at least 3 months and repeat Lab work should be done BEFORE  the end of your 3 month period of using K.S. (about the 75 day mark).  Please review our customer testimonials.**
