The FAQ says AlkaMelt is not intended for anyone under 18, pregnant or nursing.
How it differs from the medication caution
The medication wording says to consult a doctor first. This exclusion says not intended, so treat it as a firm stop rather than a check-in.
The eating-disorder line
The same sentence also excludes a current or past eating disorder, covered in its own blog guide.
💊 Medical note: AlkaMelt is not intended for anyone under 18, pregnant, nursing, or with a current or past eating disorder. Anyone taking prescription medication, or managing a medical condition, must consult a doctor before use — berberine in particular is pharmacologically active and may interact with certain medications.
