Who should consult a specialist before drinking it? — Viburnum red fruits, 50g LekraSet (Viburnum opulus L.)

Guelder rose berries are a natural plant product, but some people should be careful. This applies above all to those who take medicines that affect blood clotting: plant polyphenols can interact with such medicines, so it is best to check with a doctor or pharmacist before adding a new herbal drink to your diet.

It is also advisable to consult a specialist if you:

• tend to have allergic reactions to berries or plant products;
• are sensitive to foods with a pronounced acidity;
• are choosing herbal drinks during pregnancy or breastfeeding — this infusion itself is not recommended during these periods.

Do not drink the infusion if you have an individual intolerance to its ingredients, or if you have gout, kidney disease (urinary stones), arthritis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, increased blood clotting and a tendency to thrombosis, low blood pressure, high stomach acidity or an allergy to vitamin C. The product is not a medicine and is not intended to treat, prevent or diagnose any disease. It is a herbal drink that can be included in your everyday diet as part of varied nutrition.
