A member asked:
I'm taking a viminta soft gelatin capsule from the last 3 days. ive noticed that the color of my stool has turned to black. is this the cause?

Ingredients(?), but.: The viminta website lists a number of products with varying ingredients--you haven't specified what is contained in your supplement. The timing of dark stool with your start of viminta use certainly is consistent with a cause & effect relationship. However, black stools are an ominous sign of GI bleeding (among other concerns) so if there is any doubt, or you have symptoms, get checked out now.
