Obvious Meds & Supplements That Cause Liver Damage

Niacin

Niacin is everywhere, men, everywhere! It's in so many foods. You'll want to eat foods with niacin. Yes, they're healthy, and you'll protect your liver that way. Why? Because niacin means you're going to absorb more zinc. Not having enough zinc is linked to cirrhosis in a big, big way. But the problem, men, comes with niacin supplements. They're great when you've got high cholesterol or something else that would benefit from more niacin. Unfortunately, there's so much niacin in these supplements. So much!

They'll have a lot more than you need. When you don't take them right and get too much? These supplements hurt your liver! So many of you, men, are going to have permanent liver problems. The tablets with sustained-release are the worst for liver toxicity. The worst! Don't let your guard down, though. Any of the supplements can cause a problem when you take too much or take them for too long.
