I disagree on the safety of this med. Many people are no longer taking this herb as the word gets out on its possible link to cataracts. Also its abililty to lower prescription med levels could be potentially life threatening. This med is to potent to be sitting on shelves with vitamins and minerals. Are there any warning on the bottle about these dangers? I didn't say it wasn't a decent ad.
