Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dietary supplements include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, whey protein, creatine, and more. Dietary supplements and herbal medicines are very popular in many countries now. Although most people believe that dietary supplements can help us become more healthy, serious toxicities do occur due to the consumption of too many supplements. Some supplements can also cause problems if taken with certain medicines. For example, vitamins C and E may reduce the effectiveness of some chemotherapy drugs.
Complementary medicine is frequently integrated with conventional medicine. Prescription medicines are thoroughly tested before receiving regulatory approval, but despite this, real-world experience reveals undetectable adverse events in clinical trials. Complementary and alternative medicine are considered non-toxic by consumers. However, many of them might produce adverse reactions or interact with prescription medicine.
This Special Issue aims to report all the adverse effects of dietary supplements. We welcome the discussion of adverse events for commonly used supplements such as vitamins, minerals, plant extracts, and so on. We will also look into the protective or harmful effects of complementary and alternative use.
Importantly, the exact active ingredients of the natural origin extracts must be reported in submitted research manuscripts.
