Is there a recent publication about natural supplement combination and the harm they may cause?
I would like to know if combining certain vitamins or herbs will be harmful to humans?

There are many recent publications… some are positive towards supplements, some are negative towards them. Ultimately, most all supplements are perfectly safe to take together as long as there isn’t a warning on the bottle that says otherwise. For example, if 2 supplements each say to not take with blood thinning medications, they may or may not be safe to take together… but if 2 supplements each have no warnings, they should be perfectly safe together.
If you wanted to find out for sure, your best (and safest) bet would be to ask a pharmacist if there are any interactions listed between them. Doctors and pharmacists both have access to a database of drug and supplement interactions and they can tell you quickly if you can safely take them together or not…. anyone here will just have a best guess from searching on the internet (which isn’t always accurate, as we all know)
Good luck and I hope I helped!

The greatest danger comes from taking this stuff with genuine medicines; it is possible that herbs and stuff will interfere with correct medicines and prevent them from working.
