I thought this scandal would just blow over….
When I first heard about the toxic adulteration found in Tejocote supplements, I dismissed it thinking that now it had been found that there would no longer be an issue…but the problem persisted.
Tejocote: a small Mexican fruit tree with deep culinary and medicinal roots that now sits at the center of a serious supplement safety problem.
“Tejocote root” weight‑loss products have been widely found to contain a highly toxic yellow oleander impostor: another stark example of why rigorous botanical identification and quality testing by manufacturers is non‑negotiable.
