Supplements are often used by many people to boost their energy, increase their memory, and it is even used to help them sleep at night. But unfortunately, the sale of supplements on the market has not been regulated yet by the FDA, so the producers never provide the possible side effects of these supplements on the labels.

Before, it was also suspected that vitamin E could cause fragile bones. Not just that, in another study it was mentioned that vitamin E could trigger prostate cancer.

Well, according to Sophian DeMonte RPH, a Costco pharmacist, spokesman of APhA, or the American Pharmacists Association, which is the first-established professional society of pharmacists within the United States, said that every supplement that is consumed can cause some unexpected symptoms. Just like the three supplements below.

Fish oil

Side effects: Fish oil can cause heartburn, belching, and diarrhea

Many people consume Fish oil tablets because it is known to be the best simple way to increase their intake of omega-3. Omega 3 fatty acid are considered essential fatty acids, these fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the human body but they are quite vital for normal metabolism.

But what people do not know is that consuming fish oil can cause stomach problems, heartburn and burping with fishy odor after-taste. Consuming this supplement in the middle of a meal will make it easy to mix with food, which improves digestion and reduces the fishy taste when belching.

Ginko biloba

Side effects: Ginko biloba supplements may cause headache, nausea, and gastological problems, and bleeding

This type of supplement types received popularity several years ago because it is known able to improve memory. Not only that, according to a study, these supplements can also thin the blood. So it would be dangerous if this supplement is consumed by a person after they had a surgery. You also have to be careful when consuming gingko seeds, because gingko seeds contain a lot of deadly poisons.

Ginseng

Like gingko biloba, this plant once became popular and chosen by many people to live a healthy life.

“Ginseng may affect hormone receptors in the brain by stimulating the secretion of adrenal hormones that affect the increase in energy” said DeMonte.

Previously, a study about the negative impact of antioxidant supplements was also published.
