Nutrafol's Hair Gains And Liver Strains

A 26-year-old woman experienced drug-induced liver injury (DILI) likely caused by the dietary supplement Nutrafol, which she began taking for hair growth. Her liver function tests showed significant abnormalities, including elevated bilirubin and transaminases, after starting Nutrafol. The supplement contains ingredients with potential hepatotoxicity, such as turmeric, ashwagandha, and horsetail. The patient's liver function improved after discontinuing Nutrafol, suggesting a strong correlation between the supplement and her liver injury. This case highlights the potential risks of non-FDA approved supplements on liver health.
