@timothy.mount.health: Liver enzyme CYP3A4 is responsible for breaking down more than half of all medications on the market today, including drugs for heart health, cholesterol, mood balance, pain management, hormones, and immune support. Four natural substances can dramatically interfere with this process: • Grapefruit (inhibitor) • Black pepper extract (piperine/BioPerine) (inhibitor) • Goldenseal (inhibitor) • St. John’s wort (inducer) The first three slow down clearance, raising drug levels higher than intended. St. John’s wort does the opposite, speeding up clearance and lowering drug levels. Black pepper extract is especially important to know because it’s added to hundreds of dietary supplements on the market. #liverhealth #supplements #healthylifestyle #nutritiontips #pharmacy
