Are Supplements Safe? What You Need to Know About Plant Extracts, Side Effects & FDA Oversight

In this episode of Prevention Over Prescription with Dr. K, we're joined by Dr. Bill Andrews — a molecular biologist and longevity researcher known for his pioneering work in telomere and telomerase science — to answer a key question: How safe are supplements, really? We explore the long history of plant extracts, what “generally regarded as safe” means according to the FDA, and why individual sensitivities still matter. Dr. Andrews breaks down what consumers should know about supplement safety, why Telavito has had no reported side effects, and how proper formulation and informed use help protect your health. If you’ve ever wondered whether supplements are trustworthy—or how to choose them wisely—this conversation gives you clear, evidence-based guidance to stay safe and informed. Hosted on Acast.
