While the vitamin-rich intravenous injection (drip) technique has become a “fad” heavily promoted recently by Arab and Western celebrities and stars, doctors have warned of its health danger.
The Semmelweis University Institute of Internal Medicine and Oncology in Budapest has confirmed to Dr Takacs Istvan that vitamin injections are promoted as immunity-boosting and fitness-enhancing, indicating that they actually lead to ‘deterioration of health’. according to a report published by the British Daily Mail. .
While some claim that the high concentration of vitamins and nutrients allows the body to absorb them more quickly and efficiently, Dr. Istvan explained that this is wrong, saying: ‘Vitamins taken intravenously bypass the gut and liver, which makes the body unable to tolerate saving them safely, which can lead to poisoning.” “.
Doctors have also revealed that taking any overdose of any vitamin weakens bones and causes painful kidney stones.
“Very few people receiving this treatment are aware of the risks involved,” Dr. Istvan explained.

Harmful and dangerous
She also continued: ‘Intravenous injections contain vitamins, including A, D and E, which are known to support vision, bone health and the immune system, but the problem is that the body takes a long time to break down these vitamins. , if they are not given orally, so that they become “harmful and dangerous” if given to people in large quantities.
Intravenous drops often deliver doses up to 25,000 mg, more than 600 times the recommended daily dose for adults (40 mg), in the name of boosting immunity.
It’s true that getting a one-time high dose of vitamin D is vital for bone health, but repeating the dose a few times can lead to loss of bone density, as studies show that vitamin D supplementation increases bone production. cells that break down bone tissue.
At the same time, an overdose of vitamin A, which supports vision, the immune system and the skin, leads to blurred vision, nausea, headaches and fatigue.

kidney problems;
Dr. Istvan also warned against high doses of vitamin C, noting that it causes kidney problems.
And the doctors explain that “linking vitamin C to improved immunity is not supported by science, because the body does not store excess doses, and therefore the excess will be eliminated through the urine, which increases the risk of the formation of kidney stones”.
In addition, doctors recommend that people eat a diet rich in whole foods because it is enough to cover the needs of a healthy body, since eating fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy products provides us with the necessary vitamins, nutrients and fiber.
