A member asked:
Is gingkgo leaf , lotus leaf , coix seed safe to take and are there any side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Most items are either safe or unsafe to ingest depending on the dose. Supplements like the ones you list are not regulated like medicines are in the US, and so the dose you get can not be assured. The other question one should ask about supplement besides safety and side effects, is do the provide benefit? The answer to this depends greatly on the supplement taken.
