Supplents limits

[victor532]

I take 10 nutrition supplements per day (saw palmetto, omega 3, etc) am I taking too many, any risks?

are these perscribed? you may not need any of them, mostly the body cannot absorb most vitamins etc unless its in food...sometimes pills need to be taken with something or you cant absorb them anyway, but its a fact that some vitamins have only about 5% potency once they are in pill form...also i watched a documentary with doctors in who were testing people who took suppliments and if people take vit A and smoke it gives a massive poss of getting lung cancer because of the vitamin suppliment...you could be over dosing your liver by taking these suppliments...weakening your immunity...everyone is an individual and you need testing properly, if a doctor hands you pills without tests get another doctor...im from the uk but look up bio-lab in the uk as they do mailed test kits, they dna test your hair etc and test what you are definitely lacking that way you know what you really need...hope ive helped a bit :o)
