Taking too much vitamins is not good after all!

Everything ought to be taken in moderation, and it certainly also applies to taking vitamins. Read this article.

Taking vitamins after exercise may undo some of the beneficial effects of the workout, research suggests.

Some advocate taking antioxidants like vitamin C and E to help protect the body from harmful chemical by-products it creates in breaking into a sweat.

But German scientists now believe these "free radicals" may actually be good for us and even buffer against diabetes, PNAS reports.

And mopping them up with antioxidants may do more harm than good.

Yup. Moderation is the keyword. I always believe supplements should be reserved for the needy ones. The nutrients deficient, the physiologically imbalanced (like me). Even for these people, the intake can be heavy on the liver and kidney. On a farsight, supplements work more for the manufacturers and the industry players rather than the mass. As in the case of infant formulas. Mother's milk is the best milk and yet advertisements are rife with processed milk. Consumers and patients must be smart. Read aplenty and consult medical experts especially before embarking on above moderate acts.
