Article Synopsis
- The popularity of nutraceuticals has surged in recent years, especially post-COVID-19, due to their accessibility, affordability, and general safety profile.
- While many nutraceuticals are safe, some carry risks of toxicity, and there is insufficient safety data for many due to a lack of comprehensive studies.
- The safety of nutraceuticals can be affected by contamination, and understanding pharmacokinetics and interaction studies is crucial for assessing their safety when used alongside other medications.
Article Synopsis
- - COVID-19 was officially diagnosed in Wuhan, China in January 2020, but symptoms began appearing as early as December 2019; the virus quickly became a global pandemic due to information suppression and poor testing.
