Human body often becomes deficient in certain nutrients during which doctors recommend us to take appropriate doses of supplements. These dosages are careful measured according to the person’s current health condition, existence of underlying diseases, age, weight and severity of deficiency in that particular nutrient. But, these supplements like vitamin B or vitamin C, D, E, etc. are very easily found and can be purchased from any local pharmacy. People also would like to believe that they too have a certain level of understanding of their body and its requirements. In the age of social media and internet, self medicating without an experts prescription has become rampant. The pharmacies too do not help this scenario as they sell medications like shops sell food or chocolates. This is a very serious issue in India as in many cases people take the wrong supplements, at the wrong time and the wrong quantity. This will lead to severe side effects. One important note, taking vitamin B regularly through naturally available food will not cause any side effects. However, taking too many supplements when you do not need it can be detrimental.
