Consumer Reports’ ‘Dirty Dozen’: 12 Risky Supplements
These Products May Do More Harm Than Good, Reviewers Warn
Aug. 3, 2010—
In 2009, Americans spent close to $27 billion on supplements — but some of them could be more harmful than good.
This topic was introduced on Good Morning America this week when Dr. Richard Besser discussed the “dirty dozen” supplement ingredients list released by Consumer Reports…
We suggest that you research whether you may be taking one or more of these “dirty dozen” products. As a consumer, you need to thoroughly investigate each and every supplement that you take. While it is important to review your supplement regimen with your doctor, remember, many physicians are not taught about natural products or supplements. If your physician is not knowledgable about your supplements, don’t hesitate to discuss with your pharmacist. Below is a list of the 12 products mentioned in the report.
1. Aconite
2. Bitter Orange
3. Chaparral
4. Colloidal Silver
5. Coltsfoot
6. Comfrey
7. Country Mallow
8. Germanium
9. Greater Celandine
10. Kava
11. Lobelia
12. Yohimbe
