If you take a lot of vitamin tablets for a long time, it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Although vitamin C is a very important element for the human body, everything should be "enough is enough", and the right amount is the best. Once it is exceeded, it will be counterproductive.
Symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort are mild acid reflux, diarrhea, vomiting, and even severe gastric ulcer. So we should attach great importance to it.
Second, it will affect fertility.
If a woman is not pregnant, taking too much vitamin C for a long time will reduce her fertility. If expectant mothers consume too much vitamin C every day during pregnancy, it is likely to affect the baby's development.
Third, there will be scurvy.
If you take too much vitamin C for a long time, the probability of getting scurvy will also increase greatly. Therefore, the vitamin C usually purchased from pharmacies must be taken according to the doctor's advice, and never increase the dose at will.
Fourth, it will cause stones.
If the body ingests too much vitamin C, it will lead to the accumulation of crystalline substances in the body. Over time, these substances will become stones, such as gallstones or kidney calculi.
Usually common fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin C, so from a medical point of view, eating more fruits and vegetables is the best way to supplement vitamin C. Only when the vitamin C content in fruits and vegetables is not enough to meet the needs of the human body, it is recommended to take vitamin C tablets.
Now everyone pays great attention to health care, but we should also choose the right health care method, and we must not eat drugs and health care products indiscriminately.
