“What is natural is safe and better” - MYTH

Recommendations from the American Cancer Society (http://www.cancer.org/)

Some of the most toxic substances that exist occur naturally, as is the case with poisonous mushrooms and many medicinal plants whose composition contains toxic chemical substances that can cause various adverse effects, since being a natural product it is not refined and is not removed. potentially dangerous chemical compounds.

Another important issue is the fact that food supplements can have one or more parts of the plant, such as roots, stems, flowers, leaves, with different pharmacological actions. For example, dandelion root is a laxative, while dandelion leaves act as a diuretic.

Make sure you know which part of the plant is used in the supplement you intend to take and whether it has the desired effect.

If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist or call OIPM/FFUC 239488505/484
