We should all know the benefits of vitamins for our body and their harms when they are in an excessive amount since vitamins play a vital role in human life. But their excessiveness can be quite harmful, too. In this article about vitamins, you will be able to find the answers to the questions like “Should we buy vitamins for our kids or should we feed them with fruit and vegetables instead? What can be the consequences of taking too many vitamin pills? What negative effects can they cause?” etc.
First of all, I have to mention that you and your children should try to provide yourselves with vitamins by eating organic fruit and vegetables and greens. No matter how much of greens you eat, you will never be afflicted with the disease of excessive vitamins (hypervitaminosis). But in case of the intake of many pills, hypervitaminosis might be inevitable for you. I have to note that most of the vitamins sold in chemist shops in our country are naturally produced. For instance, vitamin C is made from hips. It is important to remember that even if we drink hip tea every day, vitamin C will not exceed its limit. But if we take vitamin C pills extracted from hips, it will definitely cause harm because this type of vitamin C is the vitamin that is broken off from the chain of vitamins and minerals which Allah has created (in other words, it is refined as a result of which it breaks off from the chain of vitamins and minerals). Therefore, it will get into our cells and do its job against our will. But regardless of how much of hips we eat as fruit, our bodies will absorb the right amount of vitamins and will have no difficulty digesting it.
