I believe many people have this experience: standing in front of the shelf full of nutritional supplements at the pharmacy, it was dazzling and I wonder which one to buy?
According to data from the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than half of the U.S. adults have dietary supplements taken, spending up to one billion yuan per year. The most popular nutrition supplement in the United States is a magical comprehensive vitamin that can be eaten after taking it. The following is vitamin D; but how many supplements are really necessary? Is it possible to overload it?
Newsweek specially consulted Erin Vilijoen, a nutritional therapist, to expose three common myths of nutrition supplements.
Mything 1: Vitamin D does not overdose"The idea that vitamin D can be taken as much as possible is a myth," Vilihoun pointed out. "Vitamin D can help the body absorb calcin and phosphorus, and adjust other functions such as emotions and immune systems; but taking over too much will cause calcin to accumulate in the body."
It is recommended that adult vitamin D intake should not exceed 4,000 IU (or 100 micrograms) per day, and children should not exceed 2,000 IU (50 micrograms) per day.
Myth 2: Everyone should take VitaminVilihorn said: "Although Vitamin can be very beneficial in providing vitamins and minerals that cannot be obtained through diet, there are many factors that need to be considered when choosing nutritional supplements."
Moreover, there is currently no standard for Vitamin content, so the nutritional ingredients of each product and brand are different and may interact with other supplements or drugs you are taking.
Myth III: It is difficult to get enough ozone from dietozone is the fourth richest mineral in our body and plays an important role in the hundreds of rebirths; according to research reports published in the journal Nutrients, up to one in six adults are considered lacking ozone.
Replenishing is related to lowering blood pressure, improving sleep, improving mood and better blood sugar management. However, many different sources of food also contain rich gluten; green leaves, fruits, beans and whole wheat bread are rich in gluten; of course, like many other nutrient supplements, good things can also have the problem of over-consuming.
Villehorn pointed out: "Long-term excessive intake of ozone can cause a series of problems, including abdominal pain and arrhythmia."
Therefore, it is recommended that ozone intake should not exceed 420 mg per day.
Simply put, the need and use of nutritional supplements vary from person to person, and depends on a series of factors including diet, transportation and lifestyle; if you want to start taking nutritional supplements, it is best to discuss with your doctor first.
