Potential Risks of Popular Supplements and Herbal Remedies
Ashwagandha, a popular herbal supplement for stress relief, has been linked to rare but serious cases of liver toxicity, including liver failure and death. While generally considered safe, high doses or long-term use may overload the liver's detox system, especially in individuals with pre-existing liver conditions. Users should stick to recommended doses, avoid combining it with other liver-impacting substances, and monitor for symptoms of liver issues. Moderation and awareness are key, and consulting a healthcare professional is advised if concerns arise.
