does anyone get worse symptoms from vitamins?
I just got the green vibrance drink, and am feeling really weird after drinking half of the standard dose... also, the same thing happens to me when i drink green tea (decaffinated) because i need the antioxidants.

No, I never have. I'm going to order Juice Plus, bc that's what my ND is telling me to do.

You may be allergic or sensitive to something in those drinks/supplements.

I had the same thought as Razzle. It has so much in it, so it would be hard to pinpoint what was bothering you.

You could make you own green drinks with a good blender. Just add some water with greens, such as kale, collards, or spinach and carrots or other vegies and maybe a tart apple to make it tastier. That way you'd know exactly what you're consuming should you have a problem. Some people put berries and other stronger flavored fruit in them too, since some can't stand the taste of a green drink. I have a Vitamix that does a good job. They just came out with a new model unlike any of their others.

Margaret, I looked up the product you'll be getting to see what it was like and I didn't see any mention of organic fruits or vegies. It seems they try to avoid the chemicals, but that isn't enough for me. I don't know how you feel about that, but just wanted to mention it in case it matters to you.

Zowee, I too have the same experience when I first start taking a certain supplement, including vitamins. An example is vitamin D: I had anxiety and a racing heart for a week after taking it. I was very low on it so that may have had something to do with it. Most else I feel better after taking it for a few days. Multivitamins do the same. At one point I thought that I was even allergic to something in it.

As for Green Tea, I drink Bigelow's green decaffeinated tea and I can feel its effects in the brain (headache, pressure) and in the ears (tinnitus) after drinking it. I have been drinking green tea for over 6 months and the experience happens once or twice a week. I noticed that it happens more often if I leave the bag in the water for over 10 minutes. Maybe the tea is too strong? I kind-of-like the feeling because it makes me think that it is impacting the infection. I have read that green tea is very effective at killing Babesia.

yea>.<, healing98, i experience an increase of symptoms and it dies down after a few days of taking it. with the green tea, i felt an increase in energy kind of, racing thoughts, and pressure in my head. however it went away after a few days of taking it. i'm hoping it'll do the same thing with the green vibrance.
when i took it this morning, it wasn't horrible, it was just an increase in my psychological symptoms, feeling loopy, out of sorts, anxious, and a bit of a racing heart. i couldnt stop worrying that someone had drugged me x-x i knew it was the anxiety talking, but it was difficult to get out of my head. it scares me to think that i'm allergic to it however...
