Not Hair Loss News – Liver Toxicity From Bodybuilding Supplements Rising
Janis C. Kelly, September 8, 2014, Medscape reported that Liver Injuries From Supplements are Up 3-Fold in 10 Years
There is an association for Liver Toxicity in the use of herbal or dietary supplements (HDS).
“The liver injury cases included 45 attributed to bodybuilding supplements, 85 attributed to nonbodybuilding supplements, and 709 caused by medications. During the 10-year study period, the proportion of cases linked to HDS increased from 7% to 20%.”
Beware of supplements you take if you think that you will be healthier or may lose weight, when these supplements may be destroying your liver. Ref: August 25 in Hepatology.
This doesn’t surprise me with all the fitness powders and pills people take now. All those substances and chemicals are tough on your liver and should be used moderately. I have always tried to limit my supplements and not go overboard.
