Common supplement allergies

[OutToLunch]

What are some of the common protein, vitamin and mineral allergies that we tend to get.

If I take large and frequent dosages of whey, casein or egg. I tend to develop gastric issues.

As far as supps. I have read that certain B vitamins could lead to allergies when the dosages are high etc.

Any other allergies to supplements that some have developed?

There some hypothesis and suggestions that allergies are triggered by an imbalance of TH1 and TH2 cytokines. Favoring one or the other in a dominant state.

On the other hand, repetitive eating of the same foods day in and day out can lead to food intolerances. Which could be of the aforementioned, an imbalance of these cytokines. Supplements could even fall into this category.

I'll leave you with that for food for thought

Poor quality protein powders kill my stomach. I do really well with Whey Isolate (Synthepure) though. B6 can be toxic in high dosages. Don't take anything to an extreme level and you should do just fine with most things.

I take a pretty large roster of daily supps as well as those that I add on training days. Had an itch develop on my neck the last few days that today has turned into a nasty rash.
I think the best course of action is to stop everything and add things individually after the symptoms subside.
