Herbal remedies can be extremely powerful in tackling various diseases. <\/p>\nHerbal remedies can be extremely powerful in tackling various diseases. <\/p>\n
But be warned.<\/p>\n
According to a new study from the University of Guelph\u2019s Biodiversity Institute, you are at a 60 percent risk of getting completely different results than you expect.<\/p>\n
And sometimes these herbal consequences can be lethal.<\/p>\n
Almost 60 percent of herbal supplements investigated contained substances that were not listed in the ingredient list.<\/p>\n
In one-third, the prime ingredient was replaced with a completely different product!<\/p>\n
Almost 20 percent of the herbal supplements contained various unlisted fillers, such as wheat, soybeans, and rice.<\/p>\n
The study investigated 12 companies that produce herbal supplements, and only 2 of them did not use any fillers, unlisted additives, or contaminants in their products (the authors did not, unfortunately, reveal which companies were good and bad).<\/p>\n
Unlisted ingredients could pose serious health hazards to consumers. Various herbal supplements are not recommended for long-term use and could interfere with other health conditions and ingredients.<\/p>\n
Moreover, there is a high risk for people with allergies, as some products were found to be contaminated with walnut leaves and gluten.<\/p>\n
This may explain why some studies have \u201cproved\u201d various herbal remedies useless for conditions, even if it\u2019s a well-known fact that the true herb actually works.<\/p>\n
In the US, there is still very little control over these herbal products. They are considered a dietary supplement and, unlike medicines, do not need the approval of the FDA.<\/p>\n
Good advice is to not only carefully examine the herbal product you buy but also to research very thoroughly the reputation of the company that produces these herbal supplements.<\/p>\n
Oftentimes it\u2019s better to invest in a good-quality organic product than a cheaper product that only provides false security.<\/p>\n
