New allergic reaction to something.

Hey everyone so my problem is a few days ago I started getting hives on my arms, body, legs and I can't pinpoint the reason. My diet is exactly the same as I am a bodybuilder. The only thing I have changed in the past few days is I added 3 types of nutritional supplements to my morning. These are:

Vitamin B100 Complex
Vitamin D (2000iu)
Jameson Probiotic

So my questions is could one of these supplements give me hives ?

Yes, of course.  It's unlikely to be the D if it's D3 or the B complex, but it could be an additive in the capsule.  I don't know that company for the probiotic, but if it includes unproven probiotics that could also be a problem.  Not all supplements are created equal, and one of the differences is the fillers and binders used to make the tablet or capsule -- cheap brands use cheaper ones that are more problematic.  Stop taking all of the supplements; if the hives go away, you've found your problem.  Add them back one at a time -- when the hives reappear, you've found your culprit.

By the way, if it's none of them, or the hives remain after you've stopped the supplements, it could be something you came into contact with at the gym or some new fabric you've been exposed to at home.  It's also autumn -- got any seasonal allergies?  But first, I'd try eliminating the supplements and see if that's the cause, it's the easiest to do.
