A Word About
Herbal and Natural SupplementsHerbs,
botanicals, and dietary supplements can
contain potent chemicals, and should be
taken with the same care as you would a
prescription from your doctor.
We at imtiazenterprises.com encourage you
to speak to your health care provider about
each dietary supplement you are taking
(including simple vitamins!) Many herbs and
botanicals, as well as natural dietary
supplements, can interfere with prescription
medicines, or cause negative reactions.
Certain medical conditions and allergies can
also cause negative reactions with dietary
supplement use.
Many supplements contain active
ingredients that can have strong effects in
the body. Taking a combination of
supplements, using these products together
with medicine, or substituting them in place
of prescribed medicines could lead to
harmful, even life-threatening results.
Also, some supplements can have unwanted
effects before, during, and after surgery.
It is important to let your doctor and other
health professionals know about the
vitamins, minerals, botanicals, and other
products you are taking, especially before
surgery.
Whatever your choice, supplements should
not replace prescribed medications or the
variety of foods important to a healthful
diet.
