<\/p>\n

\n Vitamins are safe and an effective way to help ensure optimal health, right?\n <\/p>\n

\n Actually, recent studies have shown that vitamins have very little positive impact on health.\n <\/p>\n

\n They don\u2019t protect against diseases. They aren\u2019t absorbed well by the body and they can be dangerous.\n <\/p>\n

\n Let\u2019s take a look at the hidden dangers of vitamins and talk a bit about how you can improve your nutrition with food.\n <\/p>\n

\n Supplements Aren\u2019t Heavily Regulated by the FDA
\n <\/h3>\n

\n While the FDA, Food and Drug Administration, gets a bad rap, they are often quite helpful in protecting the public. Unfortunately, the vitamin and supplement industry isn\u2019t heavily regulated.\n <\/p>\n

\n This means that you don\u2019t always know what you\u2019re buying. It\u2019s not uncommon for supplements to have mystery ingredients.\n <\/p>\n

\n They\u2019re not put through rigorous studies so we also don\u2019t know much about potential side effects and interactions. For example, did you know that vitamin D can interfere with blood pressure medication?\n <\/p>\n

\n Labeling is inconsistent and often absent from vitamins and supplements. The only ingredient that has labeling regulations is iron because iron poisoning can be fatal for children.\n <\/p>\n

\n Overdosing Is Easy and Common
\n <\/h3>\n

\n It\u2019s quite easy to take too much of a vitamin and it can have dangerous and even deadly consequences. This is particularly important when talking about fat soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K.\n <\/p>\n

\n For example, too much vitamin A can cause liver failure or even death. Taking too much vitamin D, which can happen if you take a supplement and drink enriched milk, can cause bone pain, vomiting, diarrhea and muscle problems. Too much calcium can cause kidney stones.\n <\/p>\n

\n Hard to Swallow
\n <\/h3>\n

\n Many vitamins pose choking hazards for adults and children. It\u2019s one of the reasons that more chewable vitamins for adults are reaching the market.\n <\/p>\n

\n Vitamins can become lodged in the throat and cause tissue damage. And it\u2019s not uncommon for vitamins to cause damage to the esophagus on the way down.\n <\/p>\n

\n Unnatural Ingredients
\n <\/h3>\n

\n Many vitamins contain 100% lab created materials. It\u2019s not natural and the ingredients don\u2019t do your body any favors.\n <\/p>\n

\n The only way to make sure you\u2019re getting natural ingredients is to make sure that you\u2019re buying vitamins that are approved by the U.S. Pharmacopeia and are labeled with the \u201cUSP Verified\u201d mark.\n <\/p>\n

\n Vitamins can be good\u00a0for certain groups of people. If you have a chronic condition, digestion and absorption issues, or if you\u2019re pregnant or breastfeeding then vitamins can help improve and sustain health.\n <\/p>\n

\n For the general public, it\u2019s best to get complete nutrition through food. It\u2019s also safer.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Importance of Omega 3s for Your Health
\n <\/h3>\n

\n Scientists have established the effectiveness of Omega 3 in a number of health areas, including your Heart, Brain, Joints, Skin, Immune system, Vision, and Digestion.\n <\/p>\n
