Question 1

can cla supplement heighten anxiety or nervousness ?

Accepted Answer

It shouldn't ...: It shouldn't ... But ... Unfortunately, dietary supplements are regulated as foods (as opposed to drugs).  As such, they are not required to undergo the same testing (or prove their claims to be true). Also, since no third party testing of their product is required - the ingredients listed don't even have to match what is in the bottle.  Wish I had a better answer ... Good luck!

will pepto bismal soothe stomach problems caused by nervousness and anxiety?

Accepted Answer

It might, ask Dr: Pepto coats the lining so adds protection from harsh foods or stomach acids. It kills some bacteria.
