In general vitamins have appeared not so long ago - in 40s years of the 20th century. Then the word an avitaminosis did not exist, instead of it there was a word “scurvy” which ended in lethal outcome. But it is the last rate of an avitaminosis.
Nowadays it declares itself by drowse, fatiguability and a growing skin peeling on palms. And now let we turn to errors. The first: it is necessary to eat great amount of fresh fruit urgently. It is not true, as fruits sold now in shops – have been frozen time and again. So there is no use in eating these fruits. The second error: you can never overdose Vitamin C. Actually, you can. The maximal allowable daily doze - 2,5 mg on kg of a body weight. Error 3: synthetic vitamins cannot help. Everyone who studied chemistry at school will understand the matter at once. Substances with one structure, but received by different ways, have completely identical properties. Error 4: more expensive vitamins are better. This is mistake as well. And the last 5th error: People who never had avitaminosis. The knock-out dose of vitamins will help us. Try to avoid such statements concerning medications and before taking a shock doze of vitamins, better to go to the doctor at first.
