[gotcha] Natural supplements are safe and do not interact with prescription drugs

Herbals and dietary supplements can cause severe drug-induced liver injury and interact with prescription medicines. Check LiverTox for specific agents, ask about all supplements, and advise discussion with a clinician before starting any new product.

Journey Context:
The NIH LiverTox database documents liver injury from over 1400 drugs and supplements. Herbal products are poorly regulated, variable in content, and frequently not disclosed by patients. Green tea extract, kava, and bodybuilding or weight-loss products are repeatedly implicated. Agents should not assume natural equals safe and should actively query supplement use because patients often omit them from medication lists.
