​1 - Ephedra herb supplements

If you're concerned about your blood pressure, heart rate, or overall cardiovascular health, you should stay away from supplements that contain ephedra, as ephedra can increase blood pressure, heart rate, metabolism, and fat burning.

2- Beta carotene supplements

Beta-carotene is a pigment commonly found in a number of yellow and orange fruits and vegetables such as carrots.

Because it has been shown to offer potential health benefits, such as better vision and a stronger immune system, it can sometimes be found in multivitamins and other supplements. However, some individuals - specifically smokers - may be at risk of developing lung cancer.

Doctors warn that “beta carotene is linked to a higher risk of lung cancer in some people, especially smokers.”

  However, high-dose beta-carotene supplements should be used with caution, especially in groups at risk for lung cancer.

3 - Kava

Kava is a popular stress supplement that shows promising benefits when it comes to lowering anxiety levels. However, what you gain in feeling calm, you may pay for with health risks, especially when it comes to your liver and kidneys.

Kava, commonly taken as a tea, is a supplement known to promote relaxation but regular consumption of kava has been shown to affect the activity of enzymes and antioxidants in the liver which may lead to liver damage.

  While kava may be safe for some individuals when taken in moderation, it is best for those with kidney and liver problems to stay on the safe side and avoid it altogether
