When “natural” is not the same as “safe”

Key clinical framing

Content on Healthillusion is educational. It does not replace personalized medical advice from a licensed clinician.

Natural describes an origin, not a risk profile. Supplements and concentrated extracts can affect medications, health conditions, and each other.

A better question

Instead of asking whether something is natural, ask what evidence supports it, what dose was studied, and who should avoid it.
