Background

Succinate and the closely related succinic acid are chemicals involved in several processes in the body.

People take succinate for symptoms of menopause, obesity, and sexual problems that prevent satisfaction during sexual activity, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
When taken by mouth: The succinic acid form of succinate is LIKELY SAFE when used in the amounts found in foods.

There isn't enough reliable information to know if succinate or succinic acid are safe or what the side effects might be when they are used in medicinal amounts. Stay on the safe side and stick to food amounts.

Special Precautions & Warnings:

There isn't enough reliable information to know if succinate or succinic acid in larger amounts are safe to use when pregnant or breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and stick to food amounts.
