Misunderstanding of vitamin supplement

In families with better economic conditions, some children will have precocious puberty. Some parents blame these conditions for taking vitamins, which is a great misunderstanding.
People are more and more interested in vitamin supplements, but there are also some misunderstandings, such as:

Vitamins need to be added when you are sick. This view is wrong. When vitamins are used to treat diseases, they can be considered as a medicine because the treatment of vitamin deficiency is not a problem. For example, scurvy needs to be treated with vitamin C, night blindness requires vitamin A treatment, and ecdysis requires treatment with niacin. At the same time, vitamins are also essential nutrients for the human body. Every day, a certain amount of vitamins is needed. Otherwise, the metabolism of the human body will cause obstacles, which will affect health.
more vitamins. This view is very dangerous. When vitamin A and vitamin D are excessively ingested, they cannot be directly excreted from the urine, and are easily accumulated in the body, causing poisoning. Such as long-term oral administration of vitamin A, can cause bone decalcification, joint pain, dry skin, loss of appetite, hepatosplenomegaly and other symptoms of poisoning. Long-term oral administration of vitamin D can lead to hypercalcemia, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diffuse muscle weakness, and muscle pain. If you take vitamin C in large doses, it may stimulate the gastric mucosa to bleed together. In addition, a long-term overdose of vitamins can reduce the body's absorption rate of vitamins in food, and once stopped, it will lead to symptoms of vitamin deficiency.
the child will add vitamins to precocious puberty. In families with better economic conditions, some children will have precocious puberty. Some parents blame these conditions for taking vitamins, which is a great misunderstanding. At present, no vitamin has been found to cause precocious puberty. For precocious children, parents should check for other reasons, such as taking adult tonics.
Vitamins cause gastrointestinal discomfort. After taking vitamins, people will have gastrointestinal discomfort and they will not take it. In fact, this may be related to improper use of vitamins. In addition to vitamin C, other vitamins generally do not cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Because the aqueous solution of vitamin C is acidic, it has a stimulating effect on the gastric mucosa. When taken on an empty stomach, it can cause pain or discomfort in the stomach. Especially in patients with gastric ulcer, it is sensitive, but if you take it after meals or reduce the dosage, you can avoid this discomfort.
