Many people think that over the summer they can accumulate vitamins in reserve even until next year, but this is a fundamentally incorrect statement.
The abundance of fruits, vegetables and berries does not allow a person to accumulate the required amount of vitamins and store them somewhere, using them as needed, said endocrinologist and nutritionist Ekaterina Kazachkova.
In conditions of shortage
Therefore, vitamin complexes should be taken all year round. Often, fruits and vegetables bought at the market were grown in depleted soil, so they are of little use. It is also worth considering that water-soluble vitamins are eliminated from the body after some time, unlike fat-soluble vitamins – D, E, A.
At the same time, many have a permanent deficiency of vitamin D, even in summer, and it is needed in all metabolic processes.
Vitamin complexes: who needs them and which ones
Vitamins are selected exclusively together with a doctor. There are two types of complexes – universal and personalized. The former operate in a general spectrum, while the latter are selected when there is a certain deficiency.
There are situations when the picture of vitamin deficiency or hypervitaminosis is so blurred that only a doctor can select the necessary complexes, because incorrect use can cause harm.
Omega-3 taken year-round
Omega-3 is the “builder” of our cellular structure and cell wall. The work of cells strongly depends on the quality of the latter; if it is damaged, the cell dies. This acid should be taken throughout the year, in addition to antioxidants, such as vitamin E.
