Thank you so much for posting this insightful article regarding the safety issues associated with herbal supplements as well as advice regarding how to ensure your supplement purchase is a safe one. I am a nutritionist, and though my specialty is food not herbs generally, I do still get asked by lay folk all the time about various herbals. I am not totally anti-herbals and pro-prescription drugs. But I inform people that “natural” is not necessarily safe, and that herb products CAN be just as dangerous or possibly even contaminated. I don’t discourage people completely from herbals, I myself take Butcher’s Broom and Grape Seed Extract. But I do tell people to do their research about the herb first and to be careful and not hasty with their purchase. Some people have thanked me, some people have blown me off, or called me paranoid, or accused me of having bought into the conspiracy of the pharmaceutical industry. Truthfully, I encourage people to be just as scrutinizing with pharmaceutical drugs. Pharmaceuticals and herbals both have an important and useful place in health care. But accountability and quality control are crucial for both industries and for the populace health.
If people want to know which supplement brands are guaranteed by the USP seal, here is the link:

But remember, even a herbal verified by USP to be uncontaminated and pure can still have side effects and interactions. So do your research first! You don’t want to end up in the ER because your grape fruit extract caused too much of your cholesterol lowering statin to build up in your blood stream.

Some really great info on this site, gotta give credit to Google for helping me stumble in . It is so great to hear about what has helped everyone, I had been a little dubious about starting in on herbal supplements to help treat a few minor conditions I have been facing (those of you familiar with Evening Primrose and St John’s wort know what I mean), but after doing some research online and learning more from friends and fellow commenters…errr bloggers??, I got a suggestion to save money if I wasn’t sure about the supplements by buying online from sites like Puritan.com. I must say trying the pills for considerably less than my local retailer charges was very encouraging and helped to sway me. My point is for those of you reading this who doubt what herbal supplements can do, DON’T and if you are still unsure after paging through this site, give it a try for less by buying online from the herbal supplement products here: http://www.puritan.com/herbal-supplements-005 or another good online site. I am not partial to Purtian, it is just they always have free shipping (great now that gas is so expensive!), or buy one get one free, buy one get two free or some other good promotion. I guess I am just of the school that one needs not pay more than necessary when trying something new!
