Evidence context

How this source is used

Evidence roles describe what this source helps establish inside each Investigation. They are local to that use, not permanent labels attached to the publication itself.

Investigation

Are natural ingredients generally safer than synthetic ones simply because they are natural?

Challenges

NCCIH and FDA guidance explicitly warn that natural origin does not establish safety; natural products can be toxic, allergenic or interact with medicines.
