Hello,
Thank you for contacting HCM
I understand your concern, I am Dr Arun Tank, Infectious Disease Specialist answering your query.


G6PD is one type of enzyme present in our body.

It protects from the free radicals present in some diets.

Some people are having deficiency of this enzyme. The result of such a effect is hemolysis.

Which food supplements is having such a free radicals is not known exactly. So if possible avoid using the Amino 2222.

It may be possible if you take the powder and you got reaction for it. Better is not to take the such a powder.

You can ask for further queries here on bit.ly/DrArun.
