[QUOTE="jopar, post: 131540, member: 11712"] Not all supplements are has harmless as manufactures etc would have us believe, there are a fair few that are water soluble that the body is able to excrete excesses, but there are some that the body can’t sort out if overdosed... Take some of the B vitamins, with some of these, when overdosed can cause tingling and pain very similar to the effects of neuropathy? Back along, research linked Vitamin D deficiency played a factor in fall risk of the elderly... Around 18 months ago, a lot of PCT’s decided to use this to implement a cart blanch implementation of preventive prescription of Adcal-3 (combination of Vitamin D and calcium supplement) to the elderly who they perceived to be at risk (mainly elderly people who required care either in the home or residential) good thing one might think... The problem is that when Adcal-3 can cause liver/kidney damage so a regular blood test to check function is required... And in a cart blanch situation has proven that there not really any change if falls amongst this group... It’s only really beneficial to those that do have a deficiency, but if not it could be more harmful that good for them... I myself prefer to obtain my nutrients by eating a varied diet, and if for any reason my body can’t/doesn’t adsorb the correct amount, then it’s for the doctor to deem this is so, and with consultation with my HCP decide what is best way forward for me... I find it strange though, to take a multiply vitamin supplement, because it’s suggested that 2 out of10 adults might be deficient in Vitamin D! How is shoving other vitamins and other nutrients going to rectify the lack of Vitamin D?? Supplement do need regulating because you will always get those who will not only use them to support a unhealthy diet/eating habit, and those who believe that if you double the recommended dose, that it will be twice as good!! Landing themselves in some dangerous territory indeed one way or another... [/QUOTE]
