Are herbal health products and supplements safe because they’re natural?
Not necessarily. After all, many plants are poisonous! Also due to defective manufacturing process many of herbal products are contaminated with heavy metals like mercury, lead, arsenic etc, even other contain metal like silver and gold above recommended dosage and some product has its origin from stone corals etc. These types of products are highly nephrotoxic. They might contain other ingredients, such as plant pollen, that could make you sick. Sometimes they contain drugs that aren’t listed on the label, such as steroids or estrogens. Some of these products may even contain pesticides.
