ADVERSE REACTIONS: As mentioned above, hepatotoxicity has occurred with kava use.[15] Urticaria has been reported following consumption of kava.[16] Kava overdose resulted in altered mental status and ataxia.[17] Reversible kava dermopathy characterized by a scaly eruption has been reported in heavy kava drinkers.[18] HERB-DRUG INTERACTIONS: Kava may have additive effects when administered concurrently with benzodiazepines.[19] Kava inhibits cytochrome P450 2E1, 1A2, and 2D6, and can affect the metabolism of drugs that are metabolized by these enzymes.[20-22] Kava may potentiate the sedative effects of anesthetics.[23] TAKE HOME POINTS For additional information, visit the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Integrative Medicine Service website, "About Herbs," at
A variety of factors can put someone at risk for a nutrient deficiency, including: Inadequate diet Increased nutrient demands due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menstruation Decreased nutrient absorption from GI conditions like celiac and Crohn's disease Genetic mutations (like the MTHFR polymorphism) Lower bioavailability of some nutrients (e.g., zinc and iron) from plant versus animal sources Decreased synthesis of vitamin D from sunlight among individuals with dark-colored skin Common medications that impact nutrient absorption, metabolism, and excretion Aging, which can trigger changes (such as decreased stomach acid) that decrease vitamin D and B12 absorption Now let's explore seven common nutrient deficiencies that can impact metabolic health and the blood tests that check for these deficiencies
