Resumo: | Medicinal plants accumulate heavy metals and metalloids in their structure and in their secondary metabolites. However, when the population consumes these plants for the treatment or prevention of different diseases without proper quality control and quantification of heavy metals, they may be exposing themselves to toxicity risks due to the ingestion of chemical elements that are above the safe limits for human consumption. This narrative review study aimed to describe the regulations relating to the control of heavy metals in medicinal plants and herbal medicines, as well as highlighting the risks of heavy metals quantified in medicinal plants with emphasis on the species included in the List of Medicinal Plants of Interest to the Unified System of Brazilian Health (RENISUS), which have Systematized Information. According to the results obtained, the Systematized Information from RENISUS does not consider the information related to heavy metals and metalloids in medicinal plants, although there are published data. In this sense, we emphasize that it is necessary to periodically monitor heavy metals and inspect medicinal plants in the form of plant drugs, in order to mitigate the vulnerability of the population that consumes these products seeking health benefits based on herbal medicine. |

Sin embargo, cuando la población consume estas plantas para el tratamiento o prevención de diferentes enfermedades, sin un adecuado control de calidad y cuantificación de metales pesados, pueden estar exponiéndose a riesgos de toxicidad por la ingestión de elementos químicos que se encuentran por encima de los límites seguros para el consumo humano. Este estudio de revisión narrativa tuvo como objetivo describir la normativa relativa al control de metales pesados en plantas medicinales y herbales y resaltar los riesgos de metales pesados cuantificados en plantas medicinales, con énfasis en las especies incluidas en la Lista de Plantas Medicinales de Interés para el Sistema Único Brasileño de Salud (RENISUS), que tiene Información Sistematizada. De acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos, observamos que la Información Sistematizada de RENISUS no considera la información relacionada con metales en plantas medicinales, aunque hallan datos publicados. En este sentido, enfatizamos que es necesario monitorear periódicamente los metales pesados e inspeccionar las plantas medicinales en forma de medicamentos vegetales, con el fin de mitigar la vulnerabilidad de la población que consume estos productos, buscando beneficios para la salud basados en la fitoterapia.Plantas medicinais acumulam metais pesados e metaloides em sua estrutura e em seus metabólitos secundários.

Medicinal plants accumulate heavy metals and metalloids in their structure and in their secondary metabolites. However, when the population consumes these plants for the treatment or prevention of different diseases without proper quality control and quantification of heavy metals, they may be exposing themselves to toxicity risks due to the ingestion of chemical elements that are above the safe limits for human consumption.
