Ahmedabad. 21 March 2023, Tuesday

Millions of people around the world take vitamin pills because of weakness or to get stronger. If you are one of them then this information is only for you. Indiscriminate use of nutrients is not good for health. Many people take multivitamin, vitamin B, K, D, B12, biotin, zinc, magnesium, iron supplements believing that it will make up for any nutrient deficiency in their body and also cure their health problems. But isn't taking an overdose of supplements harmful to health? Let us know today how taking vitamin supplements are beneficial and harmful for you.

How many vitamin supplements are appropriate to take?

An overdose can lead to toxicity if the nutritional content of a multivitamin is not monitored. Too much vitamin D is harmful to the kidneys because of the high calcium content. Any supplement taken arbitrarily will only do harm. Supplements should be taken only after consulting a dietitian or doctor. For example it can cause loss of appetite and good HDL cholesterol. Too much magnesium can cause diarrhea or irregular heartbeat. Too much iron can harm the body. A balanced diet with fresh fruits and vegetables can easily meet daily nutritional needs.

Know its advantages and disadvantages

It is best to consume such supplements only after consulting a doctor. Nutrient supplements can damage vital organs such as the kidneys, eyes, brain, and skin. Excess intake of vitamin C can cause acidity and gastritis. Excessive intake of zinc, selenium and magnesium can also have harmful effects on the kidneys. Apart from this, taking too much calcium can lead to kidney stones. That is why it is important to note that instead of being beneficial to your health, vitamin supplements can also be harmful.

The correct way to take vitamin supplements

Vitamin D supplementation is viewed based on an individual's deficiency and needs, and the exact dosage and treatment should be initiated only after consulting a doctor. Iron supplements are needed only when a person is deficient in iron or during pregnancy iron should be taken on an empty stomach but can be taken with food if an empty stomach is not tolerated.
