💊 When it comes to vitamins, more isn’t always better!
Vitamins are essential for our health, but taking high doses of certain supplements may carry risks.
🤓What the research suggests:
Vitamin A: High-dose supplementation may be associated with increased lung cancer risk in certain populations.
Vitamin B6 & B12: Research has linked high intakes of these vitamins to increased lung cancer risk in some groups.
Vitamin E: High-dose supplementation has raised concerns about cancer recurrence in certain cancer-treatment settings.
✅ Prioritize a varied, balanced diet.
✅ Supplement when there’s a demonstrated need, shown deficient in labs or a healthcare professional recommends it (not an influencer)
✅ Avoid high-dose supplements without professional guidance.
✅ If you have a history of cancer or are receiving treatment, discuss supplements with your oncology dietitian
Remember: Supplements can be beneficial when used appropriately, but they aren’t automatically harmless just because they’re vitamins.
nutritional needs are individual. 💚
