Thanks for the warning ! most people think that herbal supplements are all safe. you only have to look at a few deadly poisonous plants like foxglove to know this is not true. Every so often I see people who plant their herbs right next to it, and warn them for the danger. When rainwater drips off its leaves onto your spinach an you eat that, you are dead. So even herbal meds need to be checked carefully. With internet available you would think every one does the research, but few do. Also, with the world wide open, lots of unknown plants come from everywhere, and that makes things harder to research.

If you have a look at the 'other' ingredients in medicines and supplements (most of the time they aren't listed on the packaging) it's disgusting what they contain. Many of these ingredients are harmful.
