Beta Carotene
We all agree that beta carotene is a wonderful and needed supplement because it’s a great antioxidant, it boosts our immune system and it’s good for our vision. Even so, beta carotene can be more than meets the eye (wink-wink).
If you’re actively smoking, it’s highly recommended for you not to take any supplements with beta carotene. As doctors say, the use of these supplements has been associated with an increased risk of lung cancer for smokers and those who have been exposed to asbestos. If you’re a suspect of lung cancer or you’re a fan of tobacco products, it’s better if you exclude beta carotene from your daily supplements.
St. John’s worth
St. John’s worth is a herbal supplement used for battling sleep disorders and to ease mild anxiety and depression. However, if you’re already taking another type of medication for depression or anxiety, we recommend you avoid this supplement.
It has been discovered that St. John’s worth is badly interacting with many common drugs or it weakens their effects. Whether we’re talking about antidepressants, birth control pills, cyclosporine, digoxin (a heart drug), HIV drugs or cancer medications, it can be quite dangerous to mix them with this supplement. You may have a dangerous increase in serotonin levels, known as serotonin syndrome. So before deciding to add this supplement to your list, you better check with your doctor.

great articles. very informative
Excellent information! Very helpful to know the impact of these supplements.
I take 10 grams of vitamin C whenever i go out. Thats 10,000 mg. it prevents me from catching the wuhan virus.
I’ve practiced this since March 2020. In the body vitamin C converts to hydrogen peroxide. When a molecule of virus enters my bloodstream it meets a tsunami of hydrogen peroxide and dies.
Wow
Unless very high doses of vit c are taken via IV treatment, u will never achieve the levels that u r casually refering to…. This is regardless of the amount of vitamin C u take orally. When taken orally the levels remain quite low. Stop spreading skewed information.
I take Krill oil (omega 3) and vitamin D. (esp. in winter) Don’t agree on those, the others yes.
