Safety Issues
Salacia oblongais believed to be relatively safe. Some evidence suggests that Salacia oblonga does not damage DNA. 1 Studies in rats have shown a good safety profile. 2 In human studies, the primary side effects seen are identical to the side effects of standard alpha-glucosidase inhibitors: gas and cramping.
Maximum safe dosages are not known for pregnant or nursing women, or people with severe liver or kidney disease.
