class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Taken by millions of Brits and Americans in the pursuit of achieving optimum health, vitamins and supplements are a multi-billion-pound industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, experts warn taking certain combinations of them can be dangerous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Potential harms of mixing popular vitamin pills range from deficiencies to potentially uncontrolled bleeding and even organ damage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The riskiest pairing comes with taking red yeast rice extract and niacin \u2014 said to help lower cholesterol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Todd Sontag, a family medicine specialist with Orlando Health Physician Associates in <a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" target=\"_self\"

potentially cause liver damage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">What&#8217;s more, Mr Sontag explained, the supposed benefits to heart health of taking the supplements is not rooted in good evidence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;Doubling up doesn&#8217;t increase the benefits and may be harmful to the liver,&#8217; he told wellness website <a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehealthy.com\/healthcare\/drugs-medicine\/supplement-medication-combos-never-mix\/\">The Healthy.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This risk is heightened if other cholesterol-lowering substances, like statins, are added into the mix.<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter

class=\"imageCaption\">The vitamins industry is estimated to be worth billions in the UK and US, taken by people in the hope of improving their health<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Cases where medics have found patients suffering serious liver injury from taking red yeast rice extract supplements have been <a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/casereports.bmj.com\/content\/12\/3\/e227961\">documented <\/a>previously.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Another supplement combination to be wary of is omega-3 fish oil pills and\u00a0ginkgo supplements.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The former is a well-known nutrient for improving heart health, while the latter is said to help ward off dementia, although the NHS says evidence for this is limited.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, in combination they can boost blood flow to a potentially dangerous level, meaning serious injuries could result in extreme blood loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">For this reason, Dr Tod Cooperman, president of ConsumerLab, a New York-based company that tests health and nutrition products, recommends spacing out taking omega-3 and\u00a0ginkgo by at least two hours, rather than at the same time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">One common risk of taking different vitamins or supplements at the same time is that they counteract each other, which could leave you facing a potential\u00a0vitamin or mineral deficiency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Taking magnesium and calcium supplements at the same time is one example.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Magnesium helps the body turn the food we eat into energy while calcium intake is crucial for bone health.<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap\"> <img

<\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">While the substances found in vitamins and supplements can have a host of health benefits experts warn some combinations can ineffective, or even dangerous\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But if both\u00a0supplements are ingested at the same time, the body only partially absorbs some of each, and the remainder is urinated out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">To maximise intake experts recommend waiting two hours between taking each supplement to stop this competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A similar interaction also occurs with potassium, a mineral key to good heart health, and calcium, as well as with zinc and copper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Potassium helps with making new cells, processing food and the healing of wounds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, the NHS warns that too much zinc can interfere with\u00a0absorption of copper \u2014 a mineral we need for producing bloods cells and supporting bone health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">If we don&#8217;t get enough copper we can suffer\u00a0anaemia and weakening of the bones, the health service warns. Again, experts advise spacing dosage of supplements by two hours to reduce this risk.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A host of vitamins that are absorbed with fat during digestion, medically known as fat-soluble vitamins, should also not be taken together.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mol-img-group artSplitter\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap\"> <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-6376e331c1f05703\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2024\/11\/26\/11\/62562539-14127225-Experts_say_multi_vits_are_essentially_redundant_if_people_eat_a-a-4_1732621656966.jpg\" height=\"281\" width=\"634\" alt=\"The NHS says most people should get all the nutrients they need by having a varied and balanced diet\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <\/div>\n<p> <noscript> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-6376e331c1f05703\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2024\/11\/26\/11\/62562539-14127225-Experts_say_multi_vits_are_essentially_redundant_if_people_eat_a-a-4_1732621656966.jpg\" height=\"281\" width=\"634\" alt=\"The NHS says most people should get all the nutrients they need by having a varied and balanced diet\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">The NHS says most people should get all the nutrients they need by having a varied and balanced diet\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This includes vitamins A, D, E and K and if you need to take supplements of these ensure you space them out by a couple of hours during the day to maximise absorption.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Those who enjoy a brew might also want to avoid taking iron supplements at the same time, experts say.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Iron is crucial nutrient in making red blood cells which carry oxygen around the body.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, if taken alongside a cup of black or green tea, iron supplements can bind to tannins, the plant compounds that are found in tea instead of being absorbed by the body.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This interaction only occurs if both tea and iron supplements are taken directly together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It is also a good idea to be cautious about combining sleep boosting substances such as\u00a0melatonin and herbal supplements like valerian, ashwagandha, kava, and St. John&#8217;s Wort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">While by themselves they should be harmless, a combination could lead to unexpected drowsiness that could prove dangerous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Although not technically a supplement combination, experts are also keen to highlight the dangers of taking some health supplements with certain medications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The most important of these is St. John&#8217;s Wort and antidepressants.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Both can boost levels of serotonin, a &#8216;feel good&#8217; hormone, in the body to dangerous levels leading to a condition called\u00a0serotonin syndrome.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This can trigger\u00a0confusion, agitation, twitching, sweating, shivering and diarrhoea but in severe cases can lead to potentially dangerous seizures and an irregular heartbeat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Lastly, iron supplements can interfere with some antibiotics, a class of drugs used to treat infections, stopping them from working.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Those prescribed these drugs should be cautious about taking them together, experts said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The NHS says most people should get all the nutrients they need by\u00a0having a varied and balanced diet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/health\/article-14127225\/toxic-supplement-combinations-expert.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taken by millions of Brits and Americans in the pursuit of achieving optimum health, vitamins and supplements are a multi-billion-pound industry.
