The well-known website "Science Mrs." recently launched the nutrition supplement "Astrona Vitamin" on the fundraising platform. It is claimed to contain a variety of antioxidant ingredients, one bottle can be worth 12 bottles. Unexpectedly, the funding will exceed 10,000 yuan in 24 hours.
However, nutritionist Lin Yaen reminded in her face that "it's not enough to have nutrition." Five groups, including those who often exercise, pregnant women who are preparing for pregnancy, patients with cancer or chronic diseases, those who do not want to be tested for adults, and those who are allergic to food, should not take this type of health food.
{}Su Xiuqing, director of the Nutrition Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Taipei Medical University, said that astronauts cannot eat original food due to environmental relations. They can only focus on the food they have processed. Most people are not in the astronaut's environment and can eat fresh food. Why should they eat the so-called "astronaut vitamins"? It is even more important to use antioxidants as nutritional health products.
Suxiu emphasized that the principle of taking health foods is "replenishment if you are short of it". For example, middle-aged and elderly people with poor teeth (replenish protein), want to reduce weight and control their diet, or pregnant women (replenish leaf acid), and nurturing women (replenish iron), and ordinary people should take nutrients from daily natural foods.
Lin Yaen is the chairman of the Taiwan Health Nutrition Education Promotion Association. She believes that nutritionists who are responsible for education and professional knowledge of medical nutrition must risk the possibility of losing money and remind everyone that there is a certain "risk" when taking health foods. They should ask the nutritionist to evaluate first, otherwise it will easily cost money and hurt their health.
Astronaut vitamin products contain Q10, SOD, lemon (oil-soluble), vitamin D+E (oil-soluble), selenium, etc., which are all antioxidant nutrients. However, studies have found that supplementing antioxidants may reduce the body's muscle adaptability during the training process. Therefore, "people with exercise and fitness habits" are not suitable for taking this type of health food.
In addition, many large-scale meta-analysis and reviews have pointed out that people who are not inadequate in nutrition supplement antioxidant nutrients (especially oil-soluble nutrients) will not only not prevent cancer, but may cause physical injury, which increases the risk of cancer and accelerates the course of cardiovascular diseases (including hypertension and diabetes).
Lin Yaen was worried that it is not suitable for people with cancer or who have chronic diseases to take health foods containing rich antioxidant nutrients. It is probably "the risk is greater than the benefit". It is recommended to use prototype food as the main source of nutrients. Furthermore, pregnant people who are preparing for pregnancy should not take antioxidants such as Q10 and SOD to avoid possible unknown hazards. As for those who do not want to be an adult test, do not choose the so-called super-nutritional foods to avoid side effects and health risks that have not been cleared. It also means that buying products to eat now is equivalent to helping this product for human trials.
Finally, people with food allergies are not suitable for taking this type of health food, and many people do not know which foods they are allergic to. For people who have chronic food allergies due to certain foods and are in chronic inflammation, using this product may aggravate certain symptoms.
