Abstract

Despite a perception that herbal and dietary supplements (HDS) are safe, devastating liver injury has been reported resulting from their use. The difficulty in characterizing liver injury attributable to HDS stems from the permissive regulatory environment, the complexity of marketed products, and an under reporting by the patients who use them. Despite these limitations, researchers, clinicians, and regulators have increasing awareness of the need for study in this area.
