Herbal and botanical supplements may sound like a natural way to look after your body. But what’s the truth about their effectiveness?
In the final episode of this series of our health and wellbeing podcast, we sit down with Shefalee Loth, a public health nutritionist at Which?, and Sophie Medlin, founder of City Dietitians to explain what herbal supplements actually are and what science there is to back up the claims on the labels.
From turmeric to echinacea, St John's wort to ashwagandha, they detail what you should consider before introducing these into your daily routine.
