Whenever a powerful molecule like pharmaceuticals or dietary supplements are taken, there is always a risk of experiencing an "adverse drug reaction". What causes ADRs? Can they be reduced or eliminated? When does the risk of side effects outweigh the potential benefit? We get into all of that and more!
