I will kill you on May 23, 2023, pointing out that multiple health products are harmful to health. Reader Elliot left a message in the response column on August 16, 2023, providing two information about liver damage caused by ginger ginger supplements, one of which is a research paper, and the other is a warning issued by the Australian government's health department.
The study paper is published in The American Journal of Medicine in February this year by Liver Injury Associated with Turmeric— A Growing Problem: Ten cases from the Drug-Induced Liver Injury Network [DILIN] (DILIN]) . I sorted out its focus as follows:
1. Ezal yellow is promoted as a dietary supplement for treating a variety of diseases, including inflammation, respiratory infections, liver disease, and aging, and has recently been used to prevent COVID-19.2. Eating yellow is not easy to absorb, so it has almost no beneficial or harmful effects on health. However, recently launched ginger yellow supplements usually contain ginger (black pepper), which can greatly improve the systemic bioavailability of ginger yellow. For example, report that taking only 20 mg of pepper sausage with ginger can increase bioavailability in its serum by 20 times. It is conceivable that increased bioavailability may lead to liver injury.
3. In this study, 10 cases of liver injury related to ginger were found, all of which were organized since 2011 and 6 cases were organized since 2017. Of these 10 cases, 8 were female and 9 were white, with a median age of 56 (range 35-71). Five patients were required to be hospitalized and one died of acute liver failure.
Australia's TGA (relative to the FDA of the United States) issued a warning on 2023-8-15 that Medicines containing turmeric or curcumin – risk of liver injury (pharmaceuticals containing ginger or ginger – risks of liver injury). I put it into consideration as follows:
1. Drugs and herbal supplements containing ginger yellow species and/or ginger yellow can be purchased in supermarkets, health food stores and pharmacies without prescriptions or advice from medical professionals. More than 600 drugs listed in the Australian Therapy Supplies Registration (ARTG) contain these ginger yellows and/or ginger yellows.2. As of June 29, 2023, TGA has received 18 reports of consumers having liver problems when taking products containing ginger and/or ginger. Two of the cases were severe and one was fatal. The products involved in the other 5 cases contain other ingredients that may cause liver injury.
3. In addition to these cases, there are several cases reported in the scientific literature in Australia and overseas, as well as many cases reported to supervisory agencies in other countries.
4. Risks may be higher for products with enhanced absorption or bioavailability and/or higher doses of agents.
5. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you should stop taking them immediately and seek medical advice: skin or eyes, dark urine, nausea, vomiting, abnormal fatigue, weak stomach or abdominal pain, and poor appetite.
6. When consumed with typical diets as food, ginger yellow seems to have nothing to do with the risk of liver injury.
Reader Elliot sent another warning to France's ANSES (relative to the US FDA) on June 29, 2022: Adverse effects associated with the consumption of food supplements containing turmeric. I put it into focus as follows:
1. Recently, Italy recorded about 20 cases of hepatitis related to food supplements containing ginger. In France, ANSES has received more than 100 adverse effects reports, including 15 reports on hepatitis, which may be related to the consumption of food supplements containing ginger or ginger.2. The bioavailability of ginger is very low, i.e. it is difficult to absorb into the blood and will be eliminated by the body very quickly. Manufacturers have developed various formulations to increase this bioavailability, thereby enhancing the effect of ginger. Although they don't seem to exceed acceptable daily intakes, these new formulas may increase the bioavailability of ginger in the body, bringing risks of adverse effects. To date, food supplement labels rarely indicate whether they are classical or new. Therefore, consumers may infuse potentially toxic products without knowing it.
3. In addition, ginger huanglin also has risks of interacting with certain drugs, such as anticoagulants, anticancer drugs and immunosuppressive agents. This may reduce their safety or effectiveness. Therefore, ANSES recommends that individuals taking these drugs do not consume food supplements containing ginger without seeking medical advice.
Note 1: Reader Robert used the website's "Contact Me" the day before yesterday to inquire: "In this video, Dr. Jiang Shoushan mentioned fish oil, D3, ginger yellow, which can reduce the protective glands, but because the details, dosage, etc. were not mentioned, I wonder what Professor Lin thinks?" I have published dozens of articles to denounce this doctor's misunderstandings. Please search for the readers.
Note 2: Regarding the so-called experts' flattery of ginger yellow, I have published more than a dozen articles to deny it, such as
