This article provides essential information about vitamin supplements, highlighting vitamins that should not be taken together and potential interactions. It emphasizes the importance of consulting with a doctor before adding supplements to your regimen.
Some vitamins that should not be taken together, or have dosage limitations, include vitamin C with vitamin B-12, vitamin A supplement with vitamin A-rich foods, folic acid (vitamin B9) and vitamin B12, and vitamin E with vitamin K. Supplements are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. This means they do not come with strict instructions to follow or warnings about interactions like prescription medications.
So, you have to pay attention to which supplements you are taking, when you take them, and how much you take. Studies show that taking vitamin C and vitamin B-12 at the same time may reduce the amount of vitamin B-12 that you receive. So, experts recommend taking these supplements at least two hours apart. Since vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, any excess is stored in the body. So, you don't need to take vitamin A every single day. Too much vitamin A can lead to weaker bones and more bone or liver problems. These foods are so high in vitamin A that even if you do not take a vitamin A supplement, you should only eat them once a week to avoid consuming too much. Taking too much folic acid or folate can actually hide the symptoms of a vitamin B12 deficiency. So, speak to your doctor to verify your vitamin levels before adding these supplements to your regimen. It is well documented that vitamin E supplementation can lead to increased bleeding in some people. Some doctors prescribe a vitamin K supplement to help with blood clotting. Taking vitamin E at the same time can counteract the effects of vitamin K. Copper helps with brain development, nervous system health, and in making important tissues in the body. Zinc is an important mineral for healing. When taken at the same time, one usually has poor absorption. In the case of these two supplements, zinc wins. People who take a lot of zinc supplements may develop a copper deficiency. On their own, both of these supplements offer a lot of benefits
