Who should be careful with this balm, and are there any restrictions related to its composition?

Shuster balm is a food product, not a medicine, but its composition is rich enough that several important restrictions should be taken into account.

Sugar in the composition. The product is not suitable for people with diabetes. Those who control the calorie content of their diet or watch the glycaemic index of their food should take this into account when calculating their daily intake.

Adaptogens. Leuzea and rhodiola are plants with a pronounced tonic effect. They are usually not recommended in the evening so as not to disturb falling asleep. People with increased nervous excitability or sleep disorders should discuss taking it with a specialist.

Hawthorn is traditionally not recommended in combination with a number of cardiovascular medicines without consulting a doctor — an interaction with their action is possible.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding. According to the label, the balm is not recommended during these periods. Chronic diseases and regular use of medicines — consultation with a specialist is needed before starting.

A tendency to allergies to herbs. The composition includes more than ten plant components, so people with a known reaction to any of them should study the label carefully.

In all other cases the product is intended for adults who want to add a plant complex to their usual diet in periods of increased strain or in the change of seasons.
