Hello again,
My dad never had any side effects. If memory serves he took 500-1,000mg 4 times a day. His urologist told him to take vitamin C with it to keep the iron acidic. If I remember that converts it to formaldehyde and ammonia and keeps the ph in balance. Cranberry juice works too but get the unsweetened. Although it has hasn’t scientifically been proven to prevent urinary track infection there is something in it that helps keep the bacteria from adhering to the bladder wall. Whether that’s beneficial or not I wouldn’t know. Drink lots of water too. I never alternative is lemon juice. I’ve had 8 kidney stones and my urologist said lemonade is the gold standard in preventing them. It definitely would keep your urine acidic.
That’s all I can remember now besides it’s time for a candy bar break.
Jake

Thank you so much Jake. I appreciate your kindness in responding. I will take mine with the Vitamin C supplement. I drink 2 plus quarts of water per day but, the lemonade sounds much better along with the candy bar! God bless.
