Vitamins, which are important factors in strengthening immunity and protecting against diseases, may be excessive or insufficient in our body in some cases. Experts warn about vitamins that should not be used haphazardly, as they can cause damage to the body in some cases. Extra care needs to be taken when using vitamin D, vitamin B12, magnesium, zinc, vitamin C and omega 3. Here is an important warning from an expert about vitamins and minerals…
Internal Medicine Specialist Dr. Lecturer Member Ece Yiğit Gençer stated that multivitamin complexes should not be used without consulting a physician and said, “Supplementary foods containing more than one vitamin and mineral are called ‘multivitamins’. Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients that take part in a wide variety of reactions in our body, which we must obtain through foods and, in cases where they are not sufficient, through supplements.” They are frequently preferred due to weakness, fatigue, muscle-joint pain, strengthening immunity, forgetfulness, concentration problems, hair and skin problems, and sleep problems. Nowadays, it is possible to easily access multivitamins with a wide variety of ingredients to strengthen immunity during flu infections. “Although there is no harm in using it for short periods of time, such as increasing concentration, if long-term use is planned, it is necessary to consult a physician and have blood tests done, because it may cause toxicity, we may have a different underlying disease, or it may not be enough,” he said.
