Dibencozide is a form of vitamin B12, since it is a nutritional supplement and not a medication, the side effect profiles and contraindications have not been studied.

However, it is important not to use it more often than directed, as too much Vitamin B12 can cause health problems.

And additional information from Roy in response to another post:

Dibencozide increases the protein efficiency coefficient, i.e., the percentage of bound nitrogen for protein build up in the body compared to ingested nitrogen with food intake. The initial sign of effectiveness is manifested by a marked increased in appetite.

Thus, dibencozide:
