From my weekly AARP newsletter.
In the study, six specific botanicals were singled out because data from the Drug-Induced Liver Injury Network identified them as the ones that are most likely to be associated with liver toxicity. These six supplements include:
- Ashwagandha
- Black cohosh
- Gardinia cambogia
- Green tea extract
- Red yeast rice
- Turmeric/curcumin
Researchers found that older individuals were more likely than younger populations to take these botanicals — and it’s not difficult to understand why. Turmeric/curcumin is often promoted to ease joint pain from arthritis, which affects roughly half of adults 65 and older, and black cohosh is marketed for menopause symptoms. Red yeast rice is taken to lower cholesterol levels and improve heart health, two leading health concerns among older adults.
While the six supplements above may be the ones most often implicated in liver injury, according to this study, far more fit in this category. About 1,000 medications and herbals are associated with liver damage, research suggests.
Angel Planells, a registered dietitian nutritionist from Seattle and a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, says other supplements linked to liver harm include:
- Kava
- Kratom
- Skullcap
- Chaparral​
