Be Careful of Body-building and other Mixed Herbal Supplements
A report in
Hepatology stated that there has been an increase in
liver damage in both body-building and non body-building related herbal supplements over the previous
decade. Often such supplements are
poorly labeled and contain multiple ingredients. The damage is characterized by jaundice and
it can lead to liver transplants and rarely death. The same problem can occur with regular acetaminophen
(Tylenol). Take such supplements only
under a knowledgeable doctor’s care, and get regular blood tests if you do.
