A striking revelation has emerged from a study published in 2024, identifying six commonly consumed herbal supplements linked to potential liver damage. As highlighted by a recent AARP article, these supplements include Ashwagandha, Black Cohosh, Garcinia Cambogia, Green Tea Extract, Red Yeast Rice, and Turmeric/Curcumin. While these botanicals are often praised for their purported health benefits, their association with liver toxicity raises significant health alarms, especially for older adults who are frequent users of such products.
