Dietary Supplement-Induced Hepatotoxicity : A Clinical Perspective

The consumption of dietary supplements (DS) has resulted in a significant and escalating number of cases involving liver injury. It is crucial for clinicians and consumers to be well informed about the adverse effects of such products, leading to their discontinuation and timely reporting of any harmful cases. This article delves into the clinical perspective of DS-related hepatotoxicity, highlighting key concepts such as a systematic diagnostic approach. The discussion extends to notable examples of both currently popular and potential future dietary supplements, such as garcinia cambogia, turmeric, and ashwagandha, accompanied by an overview of recent findings. Causality assessment tools play a crucial role in establishing a connection between these products and instances of liver injury, with consideration of the advantages and disadvantages associated with their use. Fostering a comprehensive understanding of regulatory standards, coupled with a solid foundation of knowledge of DS, will prove instrumental in preventing DS-related hepatotoxicity. Achieving this goal requires collaborative efforts from both consumers and clinicians.
