Are supplements dangerous?
Supplements can be helpful, but they’re not always risk-free. While many are safe when used correctly, dangers arise when:
They're taken in high doses
They're used to replace medical treatment
They interact with medications
They come from unregulated or low-quality sources
For example, too much vitamin A can be toxic, or certain herbs like St. John’s Wort can interfere with antidepressants or birth control.
That’s why it’s important to:
Choose high-quality brands
Follow the recommended dosage
Talk to a healthcare provider, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, on medications, or have a health condition
In a clinic setting, like Valley Hormone & Wellness, supplements are chosen intentionally, backed by science, and tailored to individual needs to avoid risks and maximize benefits.
