DAY 4️⃣4️⃣ – Myth vs Fact
💊 MYTH: “Natural supplements have no side effects.”
✅ FACT: Just because it’s “natural” doesn’t mean it’s always safe.
Some herbal supplements can interact with prescription drugs, reducing effectiveness or causing harmful reactions.
Short Story:
A woman started taking St. John’s Wort for mood support while on antidepressants. Within days, she experienced dizziness and fatigue because the herb interfered with her prescription. A quick chat with her pharmacist could have prevented this.
Tip: Always consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting any new supplement. Your safety matters!
