Solving the mystery of vitamin complexes and their impact on the body

It turns out that those multivitamin complexes, which are so actively sold in pharmacies, can pose a serious threat to your health.

According to the research of scientists, an excess of vitamins in the human body can be as dangerous as their lack. Experts conclude that if you have enough fresh fruits, vegetables and berries in your diet, buying multivitamins may be unnecessary.

Dr. Paul Offit, a physician at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia who focuses on infectious diseases, warns of the serious risks associated with excessive vitamin supplements. Specifically, it can lead to immune system and cardiovascular dysfunction. People who overindulge in supplements also have an increased risk of cancer.

Multivitamins are considered especially dangerous, which can significantly reduce life expectancy. It is noted that the most effective way to maintain health is to consume a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Experts recommend getting the maximum amount of necessary substances from natural products, turning to supplements only in case of deficiency, which can only be established by a doctor.
