Pharmacist Reveals Supplement Interactions Doctors Miss

Are your supplements secretly interfering with your prescription medications?

Many people take vitamins, herbs, and “natural” supplements every day — assuming they’re safe.
But as a clinical pharmacist, I’ve seen hidden drug–supplement interactions send people to the ER, cause treatment failure, and even lead to dangerous side effects.

In this video, I break down:
✅ The most dangerous supplement interactions
✅ What your doctor may not ask about
✅ Why “natural” does NOT mean harmless
✅ How to use supplements safely without sabotaging your medications

If you take prescription meds + supplements, this is a must-watch.

🚨 MOST DANGEROUS SUPPLEMENT–DRUG INTERACTIONS COVERED

⚠️ St. John’s Wort – reduces medication levels, affects antidepressants, birth control, transplant meds
⚠️ SAMe, 5-HTP, Tryptophan – serotonin overload & serotonin syndrome
⚠️ Garlic, Gingko, Ginger, Turmeric – bleeding risk with blood thinners
⚠️ Magnesium, Calcium, Iron – block absorption of thyroid meds & antibiotics
⚠️ Potassium Supplements – dangerous heart rhythm changes
⚠️ Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, Ginseng – blood pressure, sugar & thyroid effects

✅ WHO THIS VIDEO IS FOR

✔️ Anyone taking prescription medications
✔️ People using supplements for energy, brain, heart, or anxiety
✔️ Patients on antidepressants, blood thinners, BP meds, diabetes meds
✔️ People who think “natural means safe”

🧠 KEY PHARMACIST TAKEAWAY

Supplements actively change how medications are:
• Absorbed
• Metabolized
• Eliminated

Your supplement stack could be reducing effectiveness, amplifying side effects, or creating dangerous overlaps — without you knowing it.

✅ HOW TO USE SUPPLEMENTS SAFELY

✔️ Keep a full medication + supplement list
✔️ Review it with your pharmacist or doctor
✔️ Separate certain supplements by 2–4 hours
✔️ Avoid stacking mood or energy supplements
✔️ Don’t use mega-doses without guidance
