Reality TV star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian recently revealed that she takes a total of 35 different supplements every day as part of her health routine. “I probably take 35 supplements a day. I spread them out three times a day,” she said during a recent appearance on Amy Poehler’s podcast. Kim also admitted that she suffers from pill fatigue. “I thought, ‘Okay, I can’t take this fish oil anymore. I have pill fatigue. I have to stop taking this fish oil.’ [supplements]and I took a blood test and it was so obvious that I had to stop and start again. “I wish there was something like an intravenous drip that I could do every day, even on my way to work,” she added.<\/p>\n
Supplements can provide additional nutrition and help fill nutritional gaps, but taking 35 supplements a day may not be the safest approach. Taking too many supplements can cause serious harm to your health, including organ damage, severe digestive problems, and the buildup of toxic substances in your tissues.<\/p>\n

“Supplements should never be a substitute for a healthy diet. Supplements are intended to treat deficiencies and help with other illnesses and ailments. The amount of supplements you take is just as important as how you take them. Excessive supplement use can cause harmful effects such as vitamin toxicity.” Dr. Souradeep Chowdhury, Associate Consultant, Internal Medicine, Medanta Hospital, Noida.<\/strong><\/p>\n Dr. Chowdhury further explained that fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K can cause toxicity if taken in excess due to the body’s storage capacity. “Additionally, liver damage, kidney stones, digestive disorders, nerve damage, drug interactions, etc. can also occur from taking too much of a certain supplement. Taking a supplement because it’s trending or because a celebrity uses it can do more harm than good,” he added.<\/p>\n Overdose can cause serious complications such as kidney damage, liver damage, seizures, diarrhea, and even nerve damage.<\/p>\n As with vitamins, overdosing on minerals can also cause serious damage. For example, excessive iron supplementation can cause severe gastrointestinal problems and can damage the liver over time.<\/p>\n Supplements can change the way your body processes prescription drugs. For example, vitamin K reduces the effectiveness of blood thinners and increases the risk of stroke.<\/p>\n Many everyday processed foods, such as breakfast cereals, energy bars, and juices, are fortified. If you take these products while taking a daily multivitamin or individually targeted supplements, you can easily exceed safe limits without realizing it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “The use of dietary supplements should ideally be closely monitored under the supervision of a doctor. Before starting any kind of dietary supplement, you should have your doctor confirm that you actually have nutritional requirements or deficiencies. Using multiple dietary supplements together without consulting your doctor greatly increases the risk of overconsumption of certain nutrients,” recommends Dr. Chowdhury.<\/p>\n In addition to the initial consultation, experts recommend that it is essential to regularly report all prescription and non-prescription supplements to your doctor to gain knowledge of potential interactions with prescription medications. “It’s also very important to make sure that any supplements you wish to purchase are from reputable manufacturers, and that they don’t assume that taking more of the supplement is better,” he added.<\/p>\n Additionally, you should reevaluate the supplements you take on a regular basis to assess whether you still need them. Signs that should not be ignored include nausea, abdominal pain, jaundice, heart palpitations, and fatigue, which may indicate a change in response to a dietary supplement due to side effects or toxicity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (Dr. Souradeep Chowdhury, Associate Consultant, Internal Medicine, Medanta Hospital, Noida)<\/em><\/p>\n Disclaimer: This content, including advice, provides general information only.
