Important safety information - please read before use
Shikakai is traditionally used mostly externally (as a hair and scalp wash); internal use is specialized. Please read before any internal use.
- Saponins: the pod is rich in natural saponins, which foam and, taken by mouth in larger amounts, can be emetic (cause vomiting) and irritate the stomach - sometimes causing nausea or loose stools. Keep strictly to the suggested serving and to short-term use; more is not better.
- Fertility: shikakai saponins have a spermicidal effect - avoid internal use if you are trying to conceive or are undergoing fertility treatment.
- Eyes: keep it away from the eyes; if any gets in, rinse promptly with plain water.
- Pregnancy / nursing: do NOT use it during pregnancy, and consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use if you are breastfeeding.
- Do not use it to self-treat any medical condition - see a qualified doctor instead. Do not give it to infants or young children. If you take any medication or have a medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children.

This is an interesting product. I know that it will take a little longer for impact due to targeting bone structure, teeth and hair. It tastes good.
Arrived as advertised and securely packaged.
