Return To Supplements FAQ Archive   Are dietary supplements harmful? Answered By Editor Dietary supplements should not be taken without consulting a dietician or a doctor first. When dietary supplements are taken along with prescription drugs, they can have harmful side effects. Harvard Medical School and other medical institutions have done numerous studies on dietary suppplements and their effects. It is especially alarming considering that more than one in every five people who take prescription drugs also uses dietary supplements without telling their doctors. Even herbal supplements as simple as ginseng and gingko can cause side effects with prescription medicine. Some dietary supplements are more harmful than others and can lead to insomnia, heart disease, cancer, and arthritis. Advertisements may claim innumerable advantages of their dietary supplements but often fail to highlight when and how they should be taken. So, it is best to check with your doctor before taking any dietary supplement. keywords: Supplements | Vitamins | Diet | Dietary Supplements | Prescription Drugs | Harvard Medical School | Medicine Vitamins With Iron Best Iron Supplement Potassium Nitrate
