Do not take these 7 supplements together even by mistake, your mistake can prove fatal for the body..

Do you also take vitamin and mineral supplements to improve your health? If yes, then wait a bit and read this article carefully! We all believe that taking supplements is beneficial for health, but do you know that taking some supplements together can prove fatal for you? Yes, this is not a joke, but there are some combinations that act like poison in our bodies. Let's find out.

Calcium + Iron
Both calcium and iron are very important for our bodies. Calcium makes bones strong and iron removes anemia, but when they are taken together, calcium interferes with the absorption of iron. This means that your body is not able to absorb iron properly, so there is no benefit to taking supplements.

What to do: Take both these supplements at different times. For example, calcium at night and iron in the morning.

Magnesium + Calcium
Magnesium and calcium act as antagonists of each other. If you take too much magnesium, it can prevent calcium from being absorbed properly in the body. Apart from this, taking both in large quantities at the same time can cause stomach pain and cramps.

What to do: Keep a gap of at least two hours between these two.

Fish oil + Ginkgo Biloba
Fish oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are very good for the heart. At the same time, Ginkgo Biloba is considered beneficial for memory and the brain, but both of them work to thin the blood. If they are taken together, the blood can become thinner, which increases the risk of excessive bleeding due to injury or internal injury.

What to do: If you are taking any of these supplements, then definitely consult a doctor before taking the other.

Iron + Vitamin D + Magnesium
These three supplements are very beneficial in themselves, but taken together can reduce each other's effect. Vitamin D and magnesium help absorb calcium, but taking too much iron can cause these three to react and cause harm to the body instead of benefit.

What to do: Instead of taking all three together, take them at different times and in the right amount.

Zinc + Copper
Both zinc and copper are essential minerals for the body. But when zinc is taken in large amounts, it blocks the absorption of copper in the body, which can lead to copper deficiency. Copper deficiency can cause anemia and nervous system problems.

What to do: If you have to take zinc supplements, do not take them with copper.

Melatonin + Other Sleep Aids
Melatonin is a hormone that regulates sleep. It is often taken with sleeping pills, but if it is taken with other sleep medications, such as benzodiazepines, without the doctor's advice, it can cause serious problems such as excessive sleepiness, dizziness, and loss of balance.

What to do: Never take more than one sleeping pill or supplement without asking your doctor.

Vitamin K + Blood Thinners

Vitamin K helps in the formation of blood clots. On the other hand, blood thinners (such as warfarin) prevent the formation of clots by thinning the blood. If you are taking blood thinners and also take vitamin K supplements or eat food items with high vitamin K content, it can reduce the effectiveness of your medicine and increase the risk of stroke or heart attack.

What to do: If you are taking blood thinners, never take vitamin K supplements without consulting your doctor.

Supplements can prove to be a game-changer for your health, but always consult your doctor or a health expert before taking them. Do not try any combination on your own, because one small mistake can prove to be very harmful to your health.
