Improper consumption of vitamins may lead to poisoning! The pharmacist pointed out that vitamins have always played an important role in the body's metabolic process. For example, lack of vitamin A can lead to night blindness, lack of vitamin C can lead to scurvy, and lack of vitamin D can lead to osteoporosis. However, fat-soluble vitamin A , D, E, K excessive intake, it may cause poisoning.
Li Jiali, director of the Pharmacy Department of Zhongxiao Branch of Taipei United Hospital, said that in the past, a sixth-grade student suffered from myopia. The mother was worried that her eyesight would continue to deteriorate, so she gave the child the vitamin A she was taking. One was not enough, and she even asked him to take two After 3 months, nausea, vomiting, and splitting headache occurred. I was worried about meningitis and rushed to see a doctor. I finally found out that the culprit was excess vitamin A left in my body. .
Li Jiali said that vitamins can be divided into two categories: water-soluble and fat-soluble. They belong to water-soluble vitamins C and B, which are easily excreted in urine and will not accumulate in the body. can be supplemented. However, fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K are not easily excreted from the body naturally. She reminded that if taken in excess, they will accumulate in the liver and easily cause metabolic poisoning.
In addition, many people are interested in the whitening effect of vitamin C and deliberately take high unit doses. Li Jiali said that normal people may excrete it naturally, but patients with high uric acid and kidney stones should not take excessive amounts; if they take anticoagulants, Do not touch dark vegetables and vitamin K.
She also mentioned that the current popular "fish oil" and "cod liver oil" in health food are also extracted from natural fish, which can easily confuse the elderly and cause them to eat incorrectly. She gave an example that cod liver oil is extracted from the liver of fish. Rich in vitamins A and D, but the main components of fish oil are EPA and DHA, which have the effect of lowering blood lipids. If cod liver oil is mistaken for fish oil, it may cause liver poisoning, so it should be taken with caution.
Li Jiali said that especially in recent years, people have paid more attention to anti-oxidation and anti-aging, and they are eager to take in various vitamins, especially some calcium tablets already contain vitamin D compound preparations. Therefore, if you want to add a single vitamin to avoid excessive poisoning, It should be advised by a doctor. If you don’t know how to supplement, she suggests that one multivitamin a day is the safest and the dosage is small but balanced.
