A new study reveals that a common dietary supplement, often marketed as a natural remedy for sleep and anxiety, may not deliver the promised benefits—and could even pose unexpected risks. Researchers found that the supplement, frequently used by adults seeking stress relief, contains compounds that interact unpredictably with certain medications, potentially undermining their effectiveness. The findings challenge widespread assumptions about its safety, particularly for those with preexisting health conditions or those taking prescription drugs. Experts now urge caution, emphasizing the need for further investigation into its long-term effects.
