“Supplements Are Safer Than Medicines”: The Wellness Industry’s Big Lie

Multivitamins and herbal pills are marketed as ‘natural’ — but are they risk-free?

In my opinion, the idea that “supplements are safer than medicines” is misleading. Many people forget that supplements can still have side effects, interact with drugs, or be misused. Unlike medicines, they’re often not strictly regulated. So, we shouldn’t assume they’re always safe — it’s important to use them wisely and only when needed.
