Why don't health professionals think we shouldn't take vitamins?

Not all health professionals agree you should take vitamin supplements, at least not as a substitute for getting your vitamins and other nutrients from food. When you get vitamins from food, you get the complete vitamin and co-factors that the nutrients need to work in your body. Supplements do not always, in fact often do not, contain the whole vitamin or the co-factors the vitamin needs to work.

How does vitamin K interact with coumadin?

Vitamin K is converted to active vitamin K in the body which helps to activate clotting factors in the liver. Coumadin (warfarin) prevents the body from activating vitamin K, therefore the clotting factors are never activated and your blood becomes thinner or more difficult to clot. When you eat vitamin K rich foods (green leafy vegitables, etc), the vitamin K competes with the Coumadin and can neutralize its effect.

Why Safety Is Important When Taking A Vitamin A Supplement?

Vitamin A is an important element required for the healthy functioning of the body. One of the easiest ways to get the suggested dietary amount is through the use of vitamin A supplements. It is important to pay attention to the amount of vitamin A that is ingested, however, because large doses can actually be very harmful and even cause vitamin A poisoning. Most vitamin A supplements should be taken only after examining the amount of the vitamin in any other supplements being taken. Additionally, some topical skin treatments contain vitamin A as well and can be absorbed into the body quickly. Taking too much vitamin A can result in serious liver damage, although a vitamin A deficiency is equally as harmful over time.


What is the RDA of vitamin C?

In United States, the Recommended Daily Allowance for Vitamin C is 90mg for males and 75mg for females. The RDA and TUL for children, pregnant women, smokers, and breastfeeding women is more. The Tolerable Upper Limit is 2,000 mg. There is an upper limit set on Vitamin C because taking megadoses of it enhances iron absorption. When iron absorption is enhanced you can get iron overload which affects major organs in the body. There are also some studies that say there is a correlation between the amount of kidney stones and the amount of Vitamin C.
