The MOST Dangerous Supplements
Dr. Kaveh




Are your supplements safe - or could they be secretly harming you?
I strongly advocate for evidence-based supplements. But when a patient arrived for surgery carrying 16 bottles of supplements, I knew we needed to be extra cautious. Everything seemed fine until the last moment - just before anesthesia, their heart suddenly went into a dangerous rhythm. The surgery had to be canceled, and the patient needed emergency cardiac intervention.

I'll discuss the hidden dangers of contaminated supplements, including microbial contamination, toxic heavy metals, and even mislabeled or illegally altered ingredients. Some supplements have been found to contain unapproved pharmaceuticals without warning, creating serious health risks. I break down the evidence behind these risks and explain why so many people unknowingly expose themselves to dangerous substances every day.
But it’s not all bad news. I believe in safe, effective supplements that truly support health. That’s why I’m sharing three essential steps to protect yourself before putting anything into your body. From verifying third-party testing to questioning the necessity of a supplement, these tips can help you make informed decisions and avoid costly, potentially harmful mistakes.

As a nurse working ICU we would ask about meds and supplements. I had one pt deny taking anything. She had surgery and we could not control oozing post op. Her friend came in with a large bag of natural supplements. I asked why they did not tell me about these when asked. Response they are "natural supplements" so cannot hurt you. I went through and found 3 that had blood thinning effect. Called the surgeon and we made a game plan to make it past the 4 to 5 days it would take for them to clear her system. Then when she was better reviewed the issue of not reporting "natural supplements" as medicine to the MD or us.
