Myth

“Natural supplements are always safer than prescription drugs”

Verdict: mostly false

Natural does not guarantee safety or lack of interactions.

Supplements can cause adverse effects, contamination issues, and clinically significant drug interactions. Regulatory pathways also differ from pharmaceuticals. Safety depends on dose, context, and quality.
