Supplements are not dangerous at all, if you are knowledgeable. Just like anything else, you have to know what you’re doing. I’ve been taking lots of supplements for almost 40 years. All my blood work is perfect. I’m 60 years old, and everyone thinks I’m in my 40s. The fact it that we cannot get all our nutrients from our denatured and adulterated foods.
it's only if you over take them like 4 a day of vC and D that will make it worse. You only really need one a day and that's if you been low on vc and d for awhile you could take it 2-3 days later and your levels will be refreshed.
What I didn't like about this video is the total absence of any concrete numbers. How much more vitamins these people took 1000%? 2000%? Perhaps 10000%? Because it certainly wasn't something as simple as 25% more.
@@ÁzsiábaSzakadtam But it's not in the video. The point of my comment that the video is framed in a misleading way, as what he explains happens at doses many times more than the recommended, it's not that easy to do.
Just discovered your channel , I am 73 and I've been taking vitamins supplements for more than 30 years and with high doses of D3 ten thousand IU every single day and 3 grams of vitamin C daily so far nothing happened to me and I'm feeling much better nothing I repeat nothing wrong happened to me ! thanks for your information
Always take D3 not D2. Our bodies have to convert D2 into D3 before it can even use it. Also be sure to take the co factors of D. Taking D causes calcium to absorb 20x more from food and vitamins. Without the co factors you end up in trouble with soft tissue calcifications in your joints (causing arthritis and osteo issues) and arteries (causing strokes and heart attacks). Vitamin K2 ensures the D/calcium goes into the bones where it belongs, preventing the soft tissue calcifications. Taking D lowers mag so magnesium is one of Ds co factors also. There are 9 forms. Stay away from citrate and oxide as they are the cheap forms that do nothing but cause loose stools and gi issues. Take a good form like malate, taurate or glycinate. I do malate in the am as it gives energy and helps with pain, then at night I do glycinate as it promotes relaxation and calm. Also, when taking D another co factor is Vitamin A. It helps prevent you from going toxic on D.
Very bad idea, Omega 3’s are basicaly a heart poison when taken by themselves. Take unfortified unfermented cod liver oil instead and ALWAYS take it with vitamin E to protect your cells from the oxidation. This is exactly what the video is about, when we don’t know enough about what we are taking it will make us more harm than good.
Ditch the fish, and start taking a high quality algae oil. All the benefits, with none of the contaminants and heavy metals. You could also increase the intake of ALA rich foods, like flaxseed, hempsed, chia seed, and walnuts.
3 vitamin rules: 1. Get a genetic test to see what you are low on absorption and supplement what you lack 2. Read studies on dosages and check dose, 3. Only buy high quality lab tested supplements.
Exactly. One thing I'll add, incorporate a variety of whole foods into your diet, as the synergistic cofactors cannot be replicated in a synthetic supplement.
Thank you for the anecdotal evidence of the damage vitamins can cause, especially the vitamin C. Let me add my anecdotal evidence about taking vitamins. In the eighties I was catching cold 4 to 5 times a year, so I was concerned about my job. Finally I decided to take at least 2 grams of vitamin C every day, and soon my friends started to say that I was never sick. This was an exaggeration of course. I've been taking same amount for at least thirty years, so it wasn't THAT deadly - for me at least. The motivation to try this much vitamin came from my friend who was diagnosed with MS, which is basically a death sentence. He was a born researcher, found surprising information at the university's library, and started to experiment with up to 50 grams (50,000 mg!) of vitamin C daily among other things. The only undesired side-effect was that he frequently had to visit the the bathroom. He is alive today with a very much reduced vitamin C intake! This video about the possible negative effects of the vitamins would feel more honest if you would compare it with the deadliness of some of the over the counter medications, such as aspirin, otherwise it feels like you have a hidden agenda.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the studies of synthetic vs natural/organic vitamins and that the level of dangerous dosage is different based on whether the vitamin is synthetic or from a natural source. I just found this out when trying to pick prenatal vitamins and trying to figure out what dosage or the vitamins work best for my diet. And some vitamins in multivitamins are useless unless taken with food because they are fat soluble.
@@karlhungus5554 The "synthetic" form is not the same chemical form as the "natural" one, which may be different and more bioactive, or may be a mixture of forms.
I’ve seen studies comparing the fake vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which is NOT identical, but differs in one component, is actually worse than no supplement. Natural vitamin C is beneficial for many types of human tissues and cells.
Seems like common sense that the right way we should be intaking vitamins is in the quantity they would appear in a natural serving of healthy food. If you would need to eat a dozen oranges in one sitting to get a dosage equal to a single vitamin C pill, that's probably more than your body can handle.
Vitamin c has helped my psoriasis greatly. I eat vitamin c rich foods and take a supplement of c. I've tried different things to improve my psoriasis and this works the best.
I was surprised that you didn't mention the crazy dosages of many vitamin supplements. I have seen pills that contain 13 times the recommended daily amount of one vitamin, five times for the next, 87% for another and some are just missing (still marketed as a daily supplement). I still take vitamins due to my 12-15 hours/week of high physical activity and low sun exposure, but I try to stay at or below the recommended daily amount.
Like most things dealing with the body, it depends on the person. For instance, the daily recommended amount of Vitamin D is 600 IU for adults, but the safe upper limit before most start to see negative effects is listed as 4,000 IU per day. If possible, it's best to have a blood test done to know exactly where you stand, but negative effects from most vitamins are only seen at very high dosages. For people, like me, with more melanin in their skin. Vitamin D is absorbed poorly from the sun so it's very hard to get the daily amount from sun exposure and near impossible in the winter months (then add in increased cancer chances that come with more sun). If I'm not getting enough vitamin D in my diet I'm going to need a larger dosage than someone with fair skin, who spends a lot of time in the sun, and eats lots of salmon.
@@kerstonhuston540 Those dosages are wrong, recent studies found out that recommended daily vitamin D dosage was wrong by a factor of 10. So maximum is 8000IU of vitamin D. Im taking years this dosage (8000 IU), vitamin D in my blood is perfect. I get my blood checked regularly.
This is scare mongering I have been taking 10 thousand mg one day and 5 thousand the next day and I not had a cold for 7 years. Blood tests fine and no issues what so ever.
I feel that there is a big difference between synthetic vitamins and the naturally occurring ones,I stay away from "Fortified" foods and use foods with natural vitamins like Pine pollen, molasses, nutritional yeast, Fish oil ,Sourkraut (vit c)liver, and all these vitamin,s need balancing with adequate mineral intake, use natural one,s again .eg horsetail tea, shilajit,seaweed.
I think one of the best thing in natto is the bacteria that can produce vit K2. One of the most important for health especially when combined with vit D3 and magnezium.
Im overdosing regulary with vitamin C when I am sick, never had any problems, kidneys work perfectly well. All Im doing, using nature that had this system for milions and milions of years on our body. Only part where I personally would get suspucious is who distributes my vitamin C supplement. Thanks for the video, I would agree eventually with this topic on vitamin D
You realize that's just survivor bias right? Someone else might have issues from a dose that causes someone else no problem. Genetics makes our organs quite different, it's unwise to take chances just from one or two examples.
@@Leonhart_93 smart said, well the guy that read about and listen to, has apperantly won nobel price in field of medicine, and he also said same thing as you, not every human absorbs vitamin C at the same rate but the differences are small.
@@baconisgood4me746 Well there is this other thing that it's hard to get into in the youtube comments section since it's so hard to explain, but basically the commercial version of vitamin C is substantially different from the naturally occurring one, which is why I have my doubts that it does all that much. So the commercial one is just Ascorbic Acid and nothing else, while in nature vitamin C is a complex, with Ascorbic Acid as the anti-oxidant exterior layer, and on the inside it has all kinds of things like copper, p, j and k factors. The problem with the mass produced one is that it's similar enough and it might get absorbed instead of the natural one you get from food. But as I said it's a long discussion.
Im taking 8000IU of vitamin D daily. Take regular blood analytics, vitamin D is always perfect. Recent studies found out that the recommended vitamin D dosage is wrong by a factor of 10.
It depends on geographical location, sun exposure, time of year, and melanin. But yes, it seems current guideline recommendations are too low. From my findings, 2000-3000 IU daily is ideal for most people.
as someone who had had digestive issues his whole life, my viatmins are what help me greatly, i am a 76 year old male and people always tell me i dont look my age and the one thing i have found is that if you use crap cheap vitamins you are wasting your time but they can act as a placebo for you and make you thing they are working. diet also has to be reasonable also and i find cutting out sugary stuff like donuts, cakes etc makes a big difference also. ; if vitamins did not work then there would be no effort to squash them by the pharmaceutical industry that only deceives people who want a quick fix rather than change a life style,
Ok, but there's a difference between taking 5000IU of vitamin D daily, like many people do, and taking the recommended amount of 800IU. Besides, getting B vitamins and heme iron from your diet is hard when you're vegan.
...counting with the number of people lacking vitamin d due to working in office or as workforce in warehouses it is normal to see a 52% people needing some since 75% of people in America are deficient in vitamin D
I read that vit. E supplementation only gives you 1 type of vit. E, while your body needs 8. And that vit. E supplementation will fill your receptors with just that one type, preventing your body from getting absorbing the other 7 from your regular food.
also vitamins and minerals are synergistic or antagonistic, and influence each other. Many times the balance between nutrients are just as important, so taking a supplement (that is not in it's natural whole food form as a package with other vitamins) can throw off the balance. Like D3 and K2 go together and zinc and copper should be balanced, omega 3 and omega 6 etc. Also ascorbic acid is just one part of the vit c compound.
As a gastric bypass patient I HAVE to take supplements. If I don't my organs will start shutting down. Your stomach makes many vitamins. So if you're doing this surgery to get skinny and look good think again. I was starting kidney disease and insulin was not working anymore for me so I got bypass surgery to save my life. It is not fun. I can't eat many foods and five years later I still throw up.
There's also the distinction between lipophilic and hydrophilic vitamins. You want to be extra careful with those that are lipophilic since taking them in excess can lead to their storage in your fatty tissue without really being excreted. Although you can damage your kidneys with chronic excess intake of hydrophilic vitamins, lipophilic vitamins do damage in a more cumulative manner.
I am a fully qualified Nutritionist and i've taken 6000 grams of vit C a day, 10,000 iu of D3 a day for over 10 years now. Health is perfect, immune to c0vid (many around me got it and I spend time in clinics and hospitals as well), immune to the flu (have never had it nor the flu shot), hormone levels are great and essentially the same as 20 years ago. Look feel and act young for my age, competitive in sports. Don't believe the Doctors and Hospitals who benefit from you being sick and have no nutritional knowledge worth a damn and who contradict clinical and hospital studies. Much of what's reported as fact in this video is unproven theory.
I bought a bottle of niacin way back when I was smoking pot because I thought I had an upcoming drug test and I heard that niacin could help "clean you out" if taken a sufficient amount of time before the test. I didn't even take very much, three pills, and about twenty minutes later I felt like all my skin was on fire. I turned red and had a bunch of little red bumps pop up too. It was uncomfortable enough to be pretty painful. My friend had told me to take twice that many and I'm really glad I didn't listen because if that sensation had gotten much worse I would have started to claw my skin right off my body.
@@neurotraveller not if you overdose and you don't carefully read the instructions given in the box. Any medical product/drug can give you side effects, especially if you overdose.
LMAO. you don't take nicotinic acid (niacin) in such high amounts the first time you take it. You got the nicain flush. It's normal and harmless but unpleasant when you take too much niacin when you don't know what you're doing. I always laugh when I hear people talk about the flush they didn't see coming. But don't blame the innocent vitamin, blame the ignorant user.
There was no clinical link between vitamin C supplementation and the illness in the example in this video. Vitamin C has been given in high doses to hundreds of thousands of patients since the 1930s with great benefit and no adverse effects. Vitamin C is one of the least toxic substances known. According to the therapeutic index, a lethal dose is 50 (LD50-the dose at which 50 percent of the subjects would die). The therapeutic index of vitamin C for an average-sized adult taking 1 gram is 350, which indicates a high degree of safety. The claim that vitamin C supplementation causes kidney stones is not valid because kidney stones are not found in people who take large amounts of vitamin C regularly over many years. There is also no tangible clinical data linking consumption of vitamin C in high doses with stone formation. The theoretical effect that vitamin C will increase oxalate excretion and cause kidney stones has not been observed. Although vitamin C does increase the production of oxalate in the body there's no evidence that it also increases stone formation. Wild primates consume human equivalent of between 2-7 grams of vitamin C daily every day of their lives. They are healthy.
had we not said that vitamins were needed, people wouldn't search so hard to keep them high. - "so we should stop recommending people to be healthy?" no, we should warn them of the causes of having too much of one thing, this fits to everything on daily life
synthetic versus natural vitamins - especially with Vitamin C an important factor. Synthetic Vitamin C is not really Vitamin C because VC in nature always appears as a Vitamine C Complex... synthetic Vitamin C is in fact just the outer layer (ascorbic acid) of this Complex and is way less efficient and can cause issues because of that.
There was an episode of Curious and Unusual Deaths where the guy thought that Vitamin A was basically a "fountain of youth." Actually, it ended up killing him.
I starting to use supplements and vitamins and the first thing that I do is checking the normal amount I should take each day (which also is the reason why I buy them), I am really suprised how high the dose are. and I thought this video gonna add something else to the mix of why it is bad, but nope, looks like I am not crazy.
I only buy the bottle of vitamin supplement with lowest price , because the more expensive the higher dosage . And if they recommended 1 tablet per day , I only drink 1/2 or 1/2 for every other day , especially the capsule because we can not chop it into 2 . For example , ten years ago , a bottle of 30 tablets of chondrotin + glucosamine , 1 tablet is 500 mg . Few years later , the dosage is double , 1 tablet contains 1000 mg , and the price is double . So I chop a tablet into 2 , and drink a half in every other day .and now it increases 1500 mg for a tablet .
why they say vitamins are a waist if it can do us bad if we take to much. thought they said we just pee it out anyways. so this is not true. hmm I'm going to get a blood work up. thanks
@@catalyst3713 depends on the individual, I do gomad and take 2g of vitamin c daily, no kidney stones, some people are genetically more/less prone to kidney stones.

Rare exception to what I just stated - those rare 1, or 2, or 3 percent Unorthodox licensed medical doctors that are nutritionally oriented. These are the only M.D. 's that I can allow myself to be treated by. What ? No other medical doctors ?? YES, ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER MEDICAL DOCTORS. !!

I took a b12 supplement and has severe psychological and physical symptoms for 3 weeks. Went away when i stopped and talked to quite a few others with the same issue.
Wow that's interesting. Can you explain the mental and physical side effects please? I have never had any side effects from B-12 but I also have a deficiency in B-12 absorption. On the other hand out of all B vitamins, I have only experienced side effects with B-6 and the side effects were serious and neurological.
Yeah, if I were you, I wouldn't use any vitamins, leave them for me. Did you notice that people who use antioxidants/vitamins aren't lined up at the hospitals waiting to get in?! Quite the opposite my friend. Knowledge is power, anything can be dangerous, water, you name it, do your research and vitamins will be your friend, not your enemy.
Come on man. You give 2 anecdotal examples. The problem with B.C was that he was eating a meat only diet. You don't even tell how much C he was taking on a daily basis. Same goes for C.M. Was he taking 200% or 900.000% the daily dosage of A and Ca? A is fat soluble, so always be careful with that.
Correct, a young boy does not need high doses of vita A as kids are not drinking, smoking and taking drugs yet and their intestines are in pristine condition creating all the vitamins they need. Unless of course they are on an insane vegetarian or vegan diet, which must only be used for up to 2 years if your seriously sick and need to detox.
yeah, not a black and white situation....not into this one.....also not all vitamins are made the same and are made from petroleum often, no duh they dont work.....
The difference is the physiological pH of the vitamin. They are the same structure, but exist in different pH (specifically a hydrogen ion either bonded or not).
@@SaphemanPlus no no i'm talking about l5mth-folate vs folic acid. Apparently the first one is much more easily absorbed and turned into the metabolically active form.

This is why I take my multivitamin/muiltimineral every other day. Sometimes 2 days in between. Well it's things like why the hell does there got to be vitamins added to a protein shake?

as someone who had had digestive issues his whole life, my viatmins are what help me greatly, i am a 76 year old male and people always tell me i dont look my age and the one
thing i have found is that if you use crap cheap vitamins you are wasting your time but they can act as a placebo for you and make you thing they are working. diet also has to be
reasonable also and i find cutting out sugary stuff like donuts, cakes etc makes a big difference also. ; if vitamins did not work then there would be no effort to squash them by
the pharmaceutical industry that only deceives people who want a quick fix rather than change a life style,
LINUS PAULING, lived on very high doses of C. And lived into his 90s. Also won 2 noble prizes for his work on . Vit C
Ok, but there's a difference between taking 5000IU of vitamin D daily, like many people do, and taking the recommended amount of 800IU. Besides, getting B vitamins and heme iron from your diet is hard when you're vegan.
...counting with the number of people lacking vitamin d due to working in office or as workforce in warehouses it is normal to see a 52% people needing some since 75% of people in America are deficient in vitamin D
Like any other substance, abuse isn't the way to go. This doesn't mean vitamins aren't good.
Along with a healthy diet and physical exercise. 😎
I read that vit. E supplementation only gives you 1 type of vit. E, while your body needs 8. And that vit. E supplementation will fill your receptors with just that one type, preventing your body from getting absorbing the other 7 from your regular food.
4 tocopherols and 4 tocotrienols make up the whole vitamin E.
My godparents’ Dad took a cabinet shelf full of vitamins a day, he lived to be 103.
My philosophy is to eat like I'm not taking vitamins, then take them as sort of an insurance against depletion or lack.
He never mentioned the risks/benefits of the most popular daily multivitamins.
Big pharma is giving you a high five right now
also vitamins and minerals are synergistic or antagonistic, and influence each other. Many times the balance between nutrients are just as important, so taking a supplement (that is not in it's natural whole food form as a package with other vitamins) can throw off the balance. Like D3 and K2 go together and zinc and copper should be balanced, omega 3 and omega 6 etc. Also ascorbic acid is just one part of the vit c compound.
The main thing to do if you take vitamins is drink lots of Water
As a gastric bypass patient I HAVE to take supplements. If I don't my organs will start shutting down. Your stomach makes many vitamins. So if you're doing this surgery to get skinny and look good think again. I was starting kidney disease and insulin was not working anymore for me so I got bypass surgery to save my life. It is not fun. I can't eat many foods and five years later I still throw up.

There's also the distinction between lipophilic and hydrophilic vitamins. You want to be extra careful with those that are lipophilic since taking them in excess can lead to their storage in your fatty tissue without really being excreted. Although you can damage your kidneys with chronic excess intake of hydrophilic vitamins, lipophilic vitamins do damage in a more cumulative manner.
I just take a normal multi vitamin to make sure my levels stay good since I tend to eat junk food
which brand?
I am a fully qualified Nutritionist and i've taken 6000 grams of vit C a day, 10,000 iu of D3 a day for over 10 years now. Health is perfect, immune to c0vid (many around me got it and I spend time in clinics and hospitals as well), immune to the flu (have never had it nor the flu shot), hormone levels are great and essentially the same as 20 years ago. Look feel and act young for my age, competitive in sports. Don't believe the Doctors and Hospitals who benefit from you being sick and have no nutritional knowledge worth a damn and who contradict clinical and hospital studies. Much of what's reported as fact in this video is unproven theory.

I bought a bottle of niacin way back when I was smoking pot because I thought I had an upcoming drug test and I heard that niacin could help "clean you out" if taken a sufficient amount of time before the test. I didn't even take very much, three pills, and about twenty minutes later I felt like all my skin was on fire. I turned red and had a bunch of little red bumps pop up too. It was uncomfortable enough to be pretty painful. My friend had told me to take twice that many and I'm really glad I didn't listen because if that sensation had gotten much worse I would have started to claw my skin right off my body.
Why didn't you read the leaflet first?
Niacin will give you a flush and it is harmless
@@neurotraveller not if you overdose and you don't carefully read the instructions given in the box.
Any medical product/drug can give you side effects, especially if you overdose.
@@user-xf7mu7ub9d its a niacin flush, thats supposed to happen when you take niacin Lmao
LMAO. you don't take nicotinic acid (niacin) in such high amounts the first time you take it. You got the nicain flush. It's normal and harmless but unpleasant when you take too much niacin when you don't know what you're doing. I always laugh when I hear people talk about the flush they didn't see coming. But don't blame the innocent vitamin, blame the ignorant user.
There was no clinical link between vitamin C supplementation and the illness in the example in this video.
Vitamin C has been given in high doses to hundreds of thousands of patients since the 1930s with great benefit and no adverse effects.
Vitamin C is one of the least toxic substances known. According to the therapeutic index, a lethal dose is 50 (LD50-the dose at which 50 percent of the subjects would die). The therapeutic index of vitamin C for an average-sized adult taking 1 gram is 350, which indicates a high degree of safety.
The claim that vitamin C supplementation causes kidney stones is not valid because kidney stones are not found in people who take large amounts of vitamin C regularly over many years. There is also no tangible clinical data linking consumption of vitamin C in high doses with stone formation. The theoretical effect that vitamin C will increase oxalate excretion and cause kidney stones has not been observed. Although vitamin C does increase the production of oxalate in the body there's no evidence that it also increases stone formation.
Wild primates consume human equivalent of between 2-7 grams of vitamin C daily every day of their lives.
They are healthy.
Wow bro really recommended by youtube after I took vitamins rn... LoL my phone is spying on me again
I just searched for a ashwaganda and banana smoothie recipe and this popped up so yeaaaahh ...definitely spying...smh
Thanks Clemens, this was very helpful!
🤣🤣🤣
had we not said that vitamins were needed, people wouldn't search so hard to keep them high.
- "so we should stop recommending people to be healthy?"
no, we should warn them of the causes of having too much of one thing, this fits to everything on daily life
synthetic versus natural vitamins - especially with Vitamin C an important factor. Synthetic Vitamin C is not really Vitamin C because VC in nature always appears as a Vitamine C Complex... synthetic Vitamin C is in fact just the outer layer (ascorbic acid) of this Complex and is way less efficient and can cause issues because of that.
Well done...mate !!!
There was an episode of Curious and Unusual Deaths where the guy thought that Vitamin A was basically a "fountain of youth." Actually, it ended up killing him.
I starting to use supplements and vitamins
and the first thing that I do is checking the normal amount I should take each day (which also is the reason why I buy them), I am really suprised how high the dose are.
and I thought this video gonna add something else to the mix of why it is bad, but nope, looks like I am not crazy.
I only buy the bottle of vitamin supplement with lowest price , because the more expensive the higher dosage . And if they recommended 1 tablet per day , I only drink 1/2 or 1/2 for every other day , especially the capsule because we can not chop it into 2 .
For example , ten years ago , a bottle of 30 tablets of chondrotin + glucosamine , 1 tablet is 500 mg . Few years later , the dosage is double , 1 tablet contains 1000 mg , and the price is double . So I chop a tablet into 2 , and drink a half in every other day .and now it increases 1500 mg for a tablet .
So many vitamins, even a small (ex vitamin D3, liquid iron, magnesium glycerinate, etc) put me into a deep sleep, its hard to wake.
vitamins are full of synthetics, some of them are banned in Europe. I just threw out $300 of vitamins
Ya know what after I use up my current vitamins ima not use em for a month and then get blood work with doc and see if they needed
Nutrition is important. But not all supplements are made the same. Choose your food wisely =)
Anyway love this video. Very well explained!
Creatine monohydrate makes me push pedals harder, but it makes me gain weight.
why they say vitamins are a waist if it can do us bad if we take to much. thought they said we just pee it out anyways. so this is not true. hmm I'm going to get a blood work up. thanks
that's why regular creatinine checkup atleast every 6months is a must to check if the kidney is healthy. Also drink lot of water! A LOT!
Vitamin C is fine, its gonna be pissed out, and taking too much in chewable form can cause enamel decay due to the incredibly increased acidity.
>200 mg a day any benefits will drop off, and increases risk of kidney stones.
@@catalyst3713 depends on the individual, I do gomad and take 2g of vitamin c daily, no kidney stones, some people are genetically more/less prone to kidney stones.
All i hear is some people said this and some people said that, so what are you trying to say ? and do you have any scientific proof of what you said?
glad to see this topic covered! It always frustrates me when snake oil salesmen portray them as the cure-all magic substance they aren't. I hope this picks up traction.
SURPRISE !! The REAL snake oil salesmen are orthodox, allopathic medical doctors who don't know their A.... from a hole in the ground when it comes to nutrition. Rare exception to what I just stated - those rare 1, or 2, or 3 percent Unorthodox licensed medical doctors that are nutritionally oriented. These are the only M.D. 's that I can allow myself to be treated by. What ? No other medical doctors ?? YES, ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER MEDICAL DOCTORS. !! This person giving this lecture is by the way - a total plethora of misinformation. WOW !!
Did you see the whole video?
@@Cardinalbins no he did not
True Vitamins are just Mambo Jambo, but drugs made out of petrochemicals is what your body needs. Go get yourself some fentanyl it's good for you.

I took a b12 supplement and has severe psychological and physical symptoms for 3 weeks. Went away when i stopped and talked to quite a few others with the same issue.
Wow that's interesting. Can you explain the mental and physical side effects please? I have never had any side effects from B-12 but I also have a deficiency in B-12 absorption. On the other hand out of all B vitamins, I have only experienced side effects with B-6 and the side effects were serious and neurological.
@@joshgroft5682 what side effects did you have with b6? I take b complex am not sure is it safe
straight up a lie, you can’t overdose on vitamins of B complex because they are soluble in water
What about magnesium?
Yeah, if I were you, I wouldn't use any vitamins, leave them for me. Did you notice that people who use antioxidants/vitamins aren't lined up at the hospitals waiting to get in?! Quite the opposite my friend. Knowledge is power, anything can be dangerous, water, you name it, do your research and vitamins will be your friend, not your enemy.

“Certain vitamins at high doses causes cancer” 😮 me thinking about all the times I ate handfuls of Flintstones vitamins as a kid
So exactly how much C is too much?
Of course they lump synthetic and natural together although they are completely different in the human body.
Come on man. You give 2 anecdotal examples. The problem with B.C was that he was eating a meat only diet. You don't even tell how much C he was taking on a daily basis. Same goes for C.M. Was he taking 200% or 900.000% the daily dosage of A and Ca? A is fat soluble, so always be careful with that.
Correct, a young boy does not need high doses of vita A as kids are not drinking, smoking and taking drugs yet and their intestines are in pristine condition creating all the vitamins they need. Unless of course they are on an insane vegetarian or vegan diet, which must only be used for up to 2 years if your seriously sick and need to detox.
@@chrystale888 Or an insane meat only diet. 😉
@@Guoy Correct, as this will kill your kidneys.

More is not always better, too much too little is a good guide
Disappointed that you didn't mention the folic acid vs folate.
The difference is the physiological pH of the vitamin. They are the same structure, but exist in different pH (specifically a hydrogen ion either bonded or not).
@@SaphemanPlus no no i'm talking about l5mth-folate vs folic acid.
Apparently the first one is much more easily absorbed and turned into the metabolically active form.
Folic acid is toxic in supplement form, always take methyl folate
Derek from Veritasium made a ducumentary called Vitamania. Worth watching
I read that ascorbic acid is not vitamin c it the shell of it made from corn.
Lol I have anemia and if I don't take my iron and vitamin supplements I have a higher risk for heart failure so I'll keep taking them💕
Vitamins need minerals to work effectively. What minerals are needed with what vitamins?
thank god i never take a supplement,( cant afford it)...
My father took a lot of vitamin E after his prostate cancer for years and he obviously outlived his apperent condition - those 400mg vitamin supplement and took high levels of vitamin c -His stubborness let him live at least 10 years more. I would not recommed this thou since he what i remember got altermnate treatment with interferon and he had a overreactive immunsystem meaning like reumatism.
This is why I take my multivitamin/muiltimineral every other day. Sometimes 2 days in between. Well it's things like why the hell does there got to be vitamins added to a protein shake? Like do you really think a person using protein shakes doesn't already take their multivitamin/muiltimineral? Or watch their diet for that matter.
I take Methylcobalamin (b12) and 5-Methyltetrahydrofalate (b9).
This information aren’t accurate, I been taking high doses of Vitamin D3 and Vitamin C .. and nothing happened to me!!
While on a carnivore diet...vitamin C is not needed as a supplement..human error
a little disappointed that regularly eating liver wasn't brought up as an alternative to vitamin supplementation.
Vitamin A toxicity if you eat them regularly.
@@Jeville42135 that seems like a very source-agnostic issue TBH. But yes, vitamin toxicity isn't covered enough either.
@@Jeville42135 not if you eat it once a week
probably because no one wants to eat liver
People's general idea of "eating it regularly" is more than once a week. It should be cautioned with that not being the case with liver.
Vitamin D3 + K2 In the form of MK-7 will direct the calcium in the right areas,to the bones instead of the arteries

Can someone please answer this for me please, can you get diabetes from taking too much vitamin supplements and vitamin drinks?

I mean you can overdose on vitamin A D E or K if you take too much (since these vitamins get stored)
but i think storing is not infinite
@@huseyinylmaz5217 yes but it still makes it easier to overdose on vitamin A D E and K than vitamin B and C
@@huseyinylmaz5217 that is the point of what the guy just said.
Vitamin A isn’t as bad to overdose as you think. You just need to take it in balance with D and K

A low carbohydrate diet lowers your need for vitamin c, so the first case makes sense to me.
