Despite dozens of recommendations and positive reviews for Stemulite Fitness Formula, one of the latest dietary supplements on the market, some people may experience an adverse reaction after just one dose. Stemulite contains several health-enhancing ingredients including alpha lipoic acid, L-carnitine and the trace mineral indium; however, it also contains mushroom extracts, and these may cause a severe allergic reaction in some people.
Those with mushroom allergies must steer clear of Stemulite, or they will experience effects such as nausea, vomiting, itchiness, dry throat and gastric upset. In some cases, the allergic reaction may be extreme enough to demand immediate medical care. Those who are allergic to mushrooms are often also allergic to mold, fungi, and some types of aged cheeses. The allergic reaction typically occurs within 20 – 30 minutes of contact with the allergen, and the effects can last for several hours afterward. Though rare, some allergic reactions can be severe enough to lead to anaphylaxis, an emergency state of the immune system.
Anyone who is aware that they are allergic to mushrooms can gauge their tolerance for Stemulite by trying a tiny piece of one tablet and waiting an hour or so to measure their reaction. Slowly building up a tolerance for Stemulite may be the best solution for allergy sufferers, but in many cases, avoiding Stemulite completely may be a better choice.
