New Study Links Bath Salts to Heart Cell Damage

A new peer-reviewed in vitro study has linked synthetic cathinones, commonly known as bath salts, to significant damage in heart cells. The research indicates that these substances trigger damaging surges of Reactive Oxygen Species, or ROS, leading to severe oxidative stress.

This overwhelming of mitochondrial function ultimately results in heart cell death, highlighting a critical public health concern regarding the use of bath salts.
