Dr. Natalia Oclina and co-worker Dr. Larisa Alexieva have warned of the health risks that vitamin D enthusiasts could face.
Dr. Oklina says in a television interview, “Vitamin D is not an allergen, but the producing companies use different external peels and many additives to improve the taste, and so on, which may cause allergies,” according to Russia Today.
And she adds, therefore, because of the potential side effects, vitamin D must be taken at the dose prescribed by the doctor.
For her part, Dr. Alexieva warns against excessive intake of vitamin D, because its increased concentration in the body causes itching, headache and nausea, and indicates that this vitamin is sold in pharmacies in special preventive doses, and that the safe dose of it is 600 international units.
She stresses that taking vitamins without prescription controls is not normal. But in the period of the pandemic, vitamins that boost immunity and help fight the virus, such as vitamin D, can be taken without consulting a doctor, but with adherence to their specified daily dose.
