Carmelo Anthony said he goes au naturel when it comes to boosts for his body, saying he’s into “African herbs.’’

In the wake of Joakim Noah’s 20-game ban for taking a supplement that contained Androgen, a banned ingredient that works like an anabolic steroid, Anthony was asked if he takes supplements.

“I’m more of a kind of a natural guy, juiceball guy, Chinese herbs, African herbs,” Anthony said after the Knicks’ 109-95 victory over the Pistons. “That’s what I’m into. If you look at the banned substances, the list goes on and on. Changes are made that you have no clue. It makes it harder. It’s protocol you have to go through. For me, I stay away from pills — more of a natural guy.”

Anthony says Noah is ready to face the consequences.

“I feel bad for the situation,” Anthony said. “I’ve talked to him personally. It’s something Jo has come to grips with and face those consequences. He’s ready to man up.”

In his Denver days, Anthony was charged with marijuana possession at the local airport in 2004. In 2006, Denver cops found marijuana in Anthony’s vehicle during a traffic stop, but Anthony wasn’t a passenger. Anthony was never suspended by the league for drugs. The NBA’s drug policy states three positive tests for marijuana are needed before a suspension. Ironically, marijuana is now legal in Colorado.

After resting his left knee the last two games of the western trip, Anthony made his return Monday, looked refreshed and scored 19 of his 21 points in the first half with five assists. The Knicks next have a home-and-home with Miami, and Anthony wouldn’t commit to both games.
