🍒The use of many dietary supplements is clinically proven by numerous studies. Let’s take vitamin D as an example. One of the most recent studies by “Cochrane” shows that Regular intake of Vitamin D significantly lowers the risk of asthma attacks in children and adults.
🍒“Cochrane” is an international charitable organisation formed to organise medical research findings to facilitate evidence-based choices about health interventions involving health professionals, patients and policy makers.
The group conducts systematic reviews of health-care interventions and diagnostic tests and publishes them in the Cochrane Library
❗️Myth number 7: Dietary supplements are safe in any dose
🍒Although vitamins and minerals are essential, an overdose of them can also be harmful, therefore, prior to using dietary supplements, it is always recommended to consult with a doctor. Just as with the use of any other medication, when taking dietary supplements, the dosage, time of administration, duration of the course and compatibility are important.
🍒It is important to know the compatibility of certain vitamins and minerals. For example, when taking large doses of vitamin E (1500-2000 IU per day), the level of triglycerides in the blood rises, which contributes to atherosclerosis of the vessels. Furthermore, the synthesis of vitamin K in the intestine is disrupted and the aggregation of platelets in the blood is disrupted, which can lead to bleeding.
