Supplements can offer significant health benefits, but improper use can lead to serious problems, including liver damage. Research indicates that nearly 20% of liver toxicity cases in the U.S. involve supplements.

Tailoring supplement selection to individual health goals and understanding potential interactions is critical for maximizing benefits and minimizing risks, particularly in individuals with pre-existing health issues.
Many of the risks from supplements come from taking too much, or too many compounds at once, including medications.
