Hello,
My opinion is that you should not worry about it. It's highly unlikely that it's due to those supplements. Do you have postural dizziness, low blood pressure or decreased sodium? Are you always tired? Kindly check ESR and 8 a.m. fasting serum cortisol. Do you have diarrhea and weight loss? I was asking you to assess your cortisol status.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
