Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2012 Jun;25(2):Adverse effects of antioxidative vitamins. - Rutkowski M, Grzegorczyk K.; Department of Clinical Chemistry and Biochemistry, Medical University of Lodz, Lodz, Poland.
High doses of synthetic antioxidative vitamins: A, E, C and beta-carotene are often used on long-term basis in numerous preventive and therapeutic medical applications. Instead of expected health effects, the use of those vitamins may however lead to cases of hypervitaminosis and even to intoxication.
The article points out main principles of safety which are to be observed during supplementation with antioxidative vitamins.
Toxic effects resulting from erroneous administration of high doses of those substances on organs and systems of the organism are also discussed.
Attention is drawn to interactions of antioxidative vitamins with concomitantly used drugs, as well as intensification of adverse effects caused by various exogenous chemical factors. Moreover, the article presents the evaluation of supplementation with these vitamins, which was performed in large studies.
