Study Estimates Millions in US Risk Liver Damage From Herbal Remedies
A recent study has raised concerns over the potential risks of liver damage associated with herbal remedies.
According to the research, millions of people in the U.S. may be unknowingly putting their liver health at risk by using popular herbal products.
While these remedies are often marketed as natural and safe alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs, some have been linked to severe liver damage and even liver failure.
The study found that certain herbal supplements—particularly those containing high doses of plants like kava, green tea extract, and comfrey—can cause significant harm to the liver.
The compounds in these herbs can interfere with liver function, leading to inflammation, toxicity, and long-term damage.
Experts warn that lack of regulation in the herbal supplement industry means that consumers may be unaware of the potential risks associated with the products they use
Without proper labeling or warnings, it's easy for individuals to overlook these dangers.
