Abstract
Liver injury due to herbal and dietary supplements is well described in the
literature and its incidence has been on the rise in the past decade. Labelling
an herbal product as non-medicinal and as a supplement precludes protocols
needed for testing, trials and marketing criteria. This has led to rampant use
of clinically unproven multi-herb-based drugs use for a myriad of lifestyle
diseases. In this report, we discuss a new dietary weight loss supplement, Safe
Lean™ that was found to be the cause of liver injury in a young obese woman
that resolved after discontinuation and discuss current literature on
component, toxicology and chemical analysis of the offending drug.
Keywords: - Weight loss tablet for losing fat.
