Receiving too many vitamins can kill you Bashny.Net

If you are used to start your day with a pair of receiving a multivitamin pill, then you have something zadumatsya



Reviews of a variety of vitamins, but the vast majority of people will agree that the reception of vitamins is not bad, especially if taken in moderation.

But it is necessary to pay attention to some points. First of all, you need to look at the differences between fat- and water-soluble vitamins and nutrients. Water-soluble nutrients (such as vitamin C, vitamin B12 and folic acid), a person needs to eat every day. Because even if you use them too much, whatever you face, it is a few extra trips to the bathroom.

The fat-soluble components (such as vitamins A, E and K) are absorbed by fatty tissue, and tend to accumulate in it. And if you eat too much fat-soluble vitamins, one day it can cause vitamin toxicity and even death.

Of course, most people do not bring themselves to such an overdose, and do not begin to twitch in convulsions on the kitchen floor. But relax still not worth it, because the risk does not disappear. For example, a man who for a long time took excessive doses of vitamin E, has a good chance to make prostate cancer. Excessive doses of beta-carotene (which the body turns into vitamin A) are directly linked to an increased risk of lung cancer in smokers. That is why many doctors recommend to refrain from the use of multivitamins, if patients do not have to do any special medical requirements.
