A new study reveals that a common dietary supplement, often marketed as a natural remedy for sleep disorders, may actually interfere with the body’s ability to metabolize certain medications. Researchers found that the supplement interacts with liver enzymes responsible for breaking down drugs, potentially leading to reduced effectiveness or increased side effects of prescribed treatments. The findings challenge widespread assumptions about the safety of over-the-counter supplements, particularly for those managing chronic conditions. Experts warn that users should consult healthcare providers before combining such supplements with medications.
