vitamin Chiver

The pharmacies and the gazettes have understood the appetite of many for the vitamins, caused by the frosts and darkness. It should however be clear : the western diet that is balanced, that is the rule among most of those who complain, brings exactly just what the body craves. On the other hand how many of depressions, seasonal, include depression, certainly not violent, go unnoticed and are a poor solution in these prescriptions vitamin-complacent of my colleagues.

Not to overdose with the orange juice…

All the vitamins are vital and the human body does not know how to make them. But the risk when eaten in too large quantities is the overdose. A risk that doctors do not fear with the vitamin C, that passes quickly from the mouth to our urine without having any effect in case of overdose.
We find vitamin C in most vegetables and fruits with a record for the persil and the sorrel. The european recommendations advise a daily intake of 75 mg for woman and 90 mg for men. For example, an orange brings in an average of 53 mg of vitamin C, as much as the Brussels sprouts, but two times less than the turnip tops !
So we can consume with peace of mind, but the recommended dose is very often exceeded because the industry is in fact a conservative to be quite useful. And it is said that it could have a role in the onset of kidney stones.

Not “whiplash”

In fact, vitamin C is used in many chemical reaction in the body. But for the effects of ” whiplash “, the studies are conflicting, and those which seem to prove something use of vitamin C in intra venous. In a tablet or orange juice, this seems to be less obvious.
This is not for lack of trying, in particular, preventative effect against the common cold or to give a boost. To be honest as it is not dangerous, cheap, and according to the principle if it is not wrong… it is still very popular without real evidence.

Vitamin deficiencies

And conversely, deficiencies in vitamins C bring us back to a period where people ran in all directions in the sea by not consuming grains and meats. No fruits and vegetables : the disease was famous at the time= ; It is called scurvy. She was a killer, but it has almost disappeared
In people very badly fed in our country, the lack of vitamin C causes great fatigue and a greater susceptibility to infections. That is probably why the reputation is not necessarily justified to boost of its supplementation.

Not the sleep disorder

There are times in life when we need more vitamins, where the needs are higher than normal and may not be offset by an increase of the power supply : in adolescents, pregnant and lactating women, those who practice the sport at least three times per week, smokers, drinkers (more than three glasses per day) not to mention the very elderly, often undernourished, or who for lack of financial means, energy, or simply teeth, neglect their power. Which makes a lot of people.

Many doctors say that vitamin C (to be taken in lozenges or oranges) prevents sleep. It seems that this is a fake trial and that vitamin C does not influence the sleep. Neither in one direction nor in the other
