Potential side effects, allergic reactions and drug interactions from constituents.[3-12]

Has there been research into this treatment?

What does the research say?
There is no evidence that any of the known components of this supplement are effective for treating tinnitus.[3-12]
Although some of the components are thought of as safe, some may be harmful including Vitamin B6[5] and green tea in large doses[13].
Although independent evidence is limited, what there is does not show that the components of this supplement are effective for tinnitus and that there may be risks involved in taking this supplement. We would suggest you talk to your GP before taking any new medication or supplement.
