Many people treat pharmaceutical vitamins with great prejudice, guided by the following considerations:.

Argument one: Synthetic vitamins are chemical substances, they cannot be more useful than living ones from natural products.

In fact: All vitamins are organic substances, and " These are not surrogates, but the same compounds that are found in any plant and animal cell.

Argument two: Artificial vitamins are absorbed worse than those found in natural products.

In fact: Everything is exactly the opposite. In products, vitamins are in a bound form, and in preparations they are in a “pure” form, so the body does not waste energy on their release from related substances, but immediately puts them into operation..

Argument three: Pharmacy vitamins can cause allergic reactions.

In fact: Just natural products provoke allergies more often.. In? first, because any product consists of a complex set of chemicals, each of which can become an allergen. In? secondly, there is practically no “clean” food now: most products contain preservatives, dyes, flavor enhancers, flavors and other substances that cause allergies. Vitamins are not foreign to the body substances, they do not cause the formation of antibodies, which means that they cannot provoke allergic reactions..

Argument Four: Taking artificial vitamins can lead to hypervitaminosis.

Fact: There are only two vitamins, A and D, that can cause an “overdose” if taken long term.. But for this they need to be taken in quantities exceeding the need for hundreds (! ) once. All other vitamins do not accumulate: once in the body, they immediately begin to work, and the excess is excreted in the urine..

Is it worth it to take breaks in taking vitamins? Expert opinions differ on this..

Some believe that they need to be taken all year round, others advise taking a break in the summer.. When should you take vitamins

• in the off-season - from March to April;

•when the climate changes, especially if you go to hot countries during the cold season;

• during and after illness, especially if you have taken antibiotics.
