The 23-year-old credit analyst said she's been healthy all her life, but started taking a women's herbal supplement designed to help support hormonal balance, weight management, complexion and fertility.

LiverTox: A New Online Resource for Information on Drug-induced Liver Injury:
The NIDDK’s Liver Disease Research Branch, in collaboration with the National Library of Medicine’s Division of Specialized Information Services, has developed an online resource for information on drug induced liver injury resulting from prescription and over-the-counter drugs as well as from complementary and alternative medicines such as herbals and dietary supplements. Called “LiverTox,” this web-based resource provides up-to-date, accurate, and easily accessible information on the diagnosis, cause, frequency, patterns, and management of liver injury attributable to these agents.
