The uncontrolled use of vitamin C and other food supplements in autumn does not reduce the risk of colds or relieves it. The head of the European Medical Center (EMC) therapist and the head of the internal diseases of the Internal Diseases, Professor Svetlana Kanskaya told Gazeta.ru.
Studies previously performed that Vitamin C can really support the immune system. However, this effect is achieved naturally, if the material concentration in the body is in the body. According to Dr. Kanevskaya, too much does not benefit from the adoption of Vitamin C in high portion.
"If a person has no laboratory deficiency, the shocking doses of vitamin C, zinc or multivitamins can even damage the liver or kidneys, as well as cause imbalance of vitamins and minerals. This happens, as the size of some substances can hinder the absorption of others, "Kanevskayan told Gazeta.ru.
The doctor noted that the overdose of Vitamin C is especially dangerous for people with urinary tract. The fact is that when ascorbic acid is being developed, it turns into another acid, Oxalat. In case of high concentration in Mera, it joins calcium, causing crystals.
It is also important to be careful with allergic reactions in case of iron levels of iron levels in the body and the adoption of blood thinning drugs. Some studies have shown that Vitamin C can weaken the effectiveness of the latter.
According to the specialist, years are required for the formation and maintenance of human immune protection. The key to this process is not a one-time acceptance of "Miracle" pill and powders, but quality sleep, good food, physical activity, stress management and chronic disease control.
"Then the cold becomes not a test, but a light training for the immune system," the specialist concluded.
