Doctors Believe Health Supplement Led to 23-Year-Old’s Acute Liver Failure
This is what she took:
Balance
This it what it contains:
Folate (as 5-Methyletrahydrofolate Calcium) 400 mcg
Chromium (as TRAACS Nicotinate Glycinate Chelate) 120 mcg
Myo-Inositol 2g
Setria L-Glutathione (Reduced) 250mg
3,3'-Diindolylmethane (DIM) 150mg
Sodium R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) 100mg
Other Ingredients:
Hypromellose (Veggie Capsule), Silica, Ascorbyl (Vitamin C) Palmitate.
"Doctors ruled out all other possibilities and believe the supplement led to her liver illness." So, they didn't prove that this supplement caused her liver failure. They just can't think of any possibilities and doctors often like to think that their guesses are facts.
Pretty scary since I've taken many of these ingredients at one time or another. Does anyone know if any of these ingredients can cause liver damage in anyone with certain genetics? Obviously it doesn't cause everyone liver failure who takes it.
