Instagram-famous physician Cyriac Abby Philips also referred to as The Liver Doc, is well-known for delivering significant lifestyle and health-related discoveries. Cyriac Abby Philips poked fun at health influencers who recommend supplements to their fans and followed up on Tuesday, pointing out that some well-known supplements are harmful to human health.
 
"Instagram 'Health Influenzas' including poorly informed doctors who pose as nutritionists and nutritionists who pose as doctors, will not tell you this," the caption read.
 
The following supplements pose a risk:

Fish oil with omega-3:
 
 If taken in excess, this might cause atrial fibrillation, which results in an irregular and fast heartbeat.
 
Thistle milk:
 
Mycotoxins, which are fungal toxins found in milk thistle, can harm the kidneys, and liver, and increase the chance of developing several types of cancer.
 
Green tea:
 
Green tea extracts, whether taken as a beverage or in pill form, can cause liver failure, hepatitis, and even death.
 
Ashwagandha:
 
Brain fog, depression, thyroid malfunction, liver damage, and changed behavior might result from consuming about 900 grams daily.

Giloy:
 
 The Liver Doc claimed that giloy, often referred to as guduchi, is dangerous at any dosage and can cause progressive liver failure and autoimmune hepatitis.
 
 Multivitamins:
 
 Over three years, taking one or two tablets every day can result in leukemia, breast, lung, and prostate cancers, among other types of cancer.
 
Vitamin E:
 
According to the liver doctor, vitamin E can cause bleeding in the brain, which can result in hemorrhagic stroke.
 
Using turmeric as a supplement
 
Hepatitis, liver failure, and severe bleeding episodes might result from using turmeric pills.
 
Supplements containing many herbs:
 
According to the Liver Doc, any dosage is dangerous and can result in acute hepatitis, liver failure, kidney damage, renal failure, and even death.

Jitendra Chouksey, the creator of the health and fitness business FITTR, responded to The Liver Doc's list by saying, "In summary, don't take anything you probably don't need!  More harm than good is probably being done.  If a blood test reveals a deficit, continue taking kind A supplements.  Anything that is discussed excessively is probably a publicity stunt or gimmick.
