Dietary supplements, also known as food or nutritional supplements, are intended to compensate for nutrient deficiencies or to maintain the proper nutrient balance in the diet. As dietary supplements are not permitted by law to be marketed as a treatment, prevention, or cure for any disease; only drugs are permitted to make such claims physicians should be aware of the fact that individuals using these supplements could affect their health.
A 22-year-old man presented to the emergency department with palpitations and dyspnea of recent onset (>2 hours). His medical history revealed nothing noteworthy. His physical examination revealed tachyarrhythmia. His electrocardiography revealed an AF speed of 130 beats per minute (ECG). In this case, a young man who was using Jack3D and diagnosed with atrial fibrillation has been presented which has been unique.
Despite the fact that natural products in food supplements are more expensive than synthetic ones, the majority of people prefer them. This could be because they believe natural products are more beneficial and safe for their health. As a result, this is a significant public health issue that also poses a financial risk.
