Only a doctor can decide how much and how often to take vitamins.
Don’t be lazy
Today, even children know why it is useful to walk outside on a sunny day: thereby a person compensates for the deficiency of vitamin D in the body. According to doctors, this is the most effective way of “vitaminization” and the simplest.
After all, people who cannot or do not want to walk for at least half an hour every day will have to enrich their body with vitamin D by taking special medications. They are quite expensive and require compliance with certain rules (not compatible with all foods and other vitamins).
But there are many people who are not at all afraid of such difficulties. Therefore, on their own initiative, they buy vitamin complexes at the pharmacy or order on marketplaces, the main ingredient of which is the “sunshine” vitamin. And they do it very badly.
– The dosage and frequency of taking any medication should be prescribed exclusively by a doctor. After all, every pill, potion or even vitamin has contraindications and side effects. Forgetting about this can seriously harm your health, warns nutritionist Oksana Dmitrenko.
Consequences of excess vitamin D
According to the doctor, the most common consequence of exceeding the dose of vitamin D intake is hypertension. Pressure surges can occur several times a day and alternate with sensations of “fire” throughout the body.
A person who likes to take vitamins on their own may experience a sudden loss of strength. The muscles will gradually begin to weaken and as a result, it will be difficult not only to lift your favorite 2-kilogram dumbbells in the morning, but also to lower your legs from the bed.
No less dangerous is excess calcium in the body: this condition is a consequence of thoughtless consumption of fashionable vitamin complexes. Especially with vitamin D in the composition.
– Vomiting, severe heartburn and diarrhea may also occur. They should also be treated under the supervision of a doctor. Independence and arrogance in this matter can result in a worsening of the condition, the expert recalls.
