Vitamin-Maxxing: The Hidden Risks
Description
Vitamin-maxxing is exploding in popularity, with UK supplement sales soaring 13% annually since 2018 and 75% of adults taking pills—two-thirds daily. But pharmacist Wendy Lee warns it’s risky: mega-dosing isn’t safer just because it’s natural, and too much of fat-soluble vitamins like D can harm kidneys and calcium levels. Supplements can’t replace whole foods or cure colds—even mega-doses of C cause stomach issues. Over-the-counter doesn’t mean safe, and pricey doesn’t mean better. The real takeaway? Use supplements to fill gaps, not replace meals—and always consult a pharmacist for personalized, safe advice.
