Tylenol would never be approved today by the FDA.

But the FDA does not go back and remove products they approve but are found later to be harmful.....like opioids.

That’s why I flush my liver with whiskey after taking these supplements.

This study doesn’t establish maximum safe dosages or what dosages are associated with liver damage, but only says that sometimes these nutrients are associated with liver damage. Mostly, presented this way, it is just a big pharma support piece. One of the compounds targeted is Tumeric, and it is almost impossible to find a reference for what the toxicity of Tumeric is, generally, the recommendations run 500mg to 2000mg of 95% Curcumin extract, which is one whopping amount of Tumeric as a spice. Nevertheless, most Curcumin or Tumeric just slides right through you unabsorbed. This is why they add Paprin (black pepper) to the mix, to get it past the gut. And then it flushes out of your system quickly.. so hard to know what to make of this study. Some of the items on this list are just plain bad, incontrovertibly. Garcinia cambogia for one.. just avoid it. But, this is kind of just bad talking and grouping things without any real information to give the people who are interested real tools to find their own safe dosages.

"The safety and efficacy of herbal and dietary supplements are not well established due to the lack of regulatory requirements by the US Food and Drug Administration for human pharmacokinetic or prospective clinical trials prior to marketing," hepatologist Alisa Likhitsup and colleagues warn in their paper.

While this is no doubt true, ANYTHING in excessive amounts can be a problem.

Seems to me this is just another tactic to impose more governmental control over something big pharma is losing money because of.

Americans don’t really seem to understand the concept of “moderation.” If 1x something is good for me, then 25X will be great for me.

Self-medicating yourself with anything, and adding supplements you have no idea you actually need, are useless, and can do more harm than good, especially if you don’t have fasting bloodwork done at least every six months to make sure you’re not over-medicating, or over-supplementing your system. Too much of a substance is as bad as not enough. Too much potassium versus too little can both cause cardiac arrest.

The article reads like a big-pharma hit piece on their competition. Herbals have been around for a long, long time. If the potential was as big as they say, we would have seen it by now.
