Do Antihypertensive Medication Interact With Green Spectrum Supplement?

Yes, I gave maybe 1/2 a teaspoon of a green food powder stirred into water to my friend for her to sample it. It is called Green Spectrum by Purium. It has organic powdered Alfalfa Leaf juice, Barley Grass juice, Oat Grass juice, Wheatgrass juice, Spirulina, Chlorella, Sea Kelp, Parsley, Broccoli, Cabbage, Kale, Dandelion Leaf, Dulse, Lo Han Berry Extract. She just contacted and said it made her have diarrhea & cramps since Friday when we had breakfast at a restaurant. She drank it mixed with tap water after eating. I use this supplement almost everyday for the past 4 months and never had this reaction. Shejust texted me back that she takes blood pressure mediction (I had asked her if she was taking any medication because there could be contraindication). She says she is going to the ER.

Hello,

The green spectrum ingredients do not interact with antihypertensive medication.

It is much more likely for the episode to have been due to a viral infection of the digestive system, maybe due to the food she ate or due to intolerance of her digestive system to one of the ingredients.

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

Take care

Regards,
