Professional experts believe that excessive use of vitamins without a doctor's prescription for a long period of time can lead to chronic intoxication of the body. As the doctor-endocrinologist Fatima Dzgoeva explained, in special cases it can be an acute condition.
According to the expert, like any other drugs, vitamins can be dangerous for human health, especially if they are used for a long time and without a doctor's prescription. In such cases, chronic intoxication may occur. At the same time, it is necessary to distinguish between the concepts of prophylactic administration and therapeutic doses, which should be selected only by a doctor.
This especially applies to vitamins A, D, E, K. These compounds are distinguished by the fact that they accumulate in the body for a long time, but they are used up quite slowly.
In turn, nutritionist Maryna Berkovska explained that vitamin A can lead to irreversible damage to the liver, and compound E reduces blood clotting, which threatens bleeding and even hemorrhagic stroke.
An overdose of vitamin D is dangerous due to an increase in the level of calcium. This condition is accompanied by nausea, abdominal pain and vomiting.
Doctors consider vitamin K to be the most harmless substance. Water-soluble vitamins of group B and C are also not very dangerous. Usually, the body gets rid of excess of these compounds on its own, but you should not abuse them.
