Not all vitamins are equally beneficial.
A chemist warned that oil-based medicines could spoil if stored incorrectly.
Chemist Maria Semenova addressed readers of the publication Gazeta.Ru with this warning.
If the oil has spoiled and become rancid, then it is dangerous, the expert emphasized.
The same applies to vitamins made from oil.
The expert reminded that rancid products contain oxidation products that act as carcinogens. Therefore, such vitamins should not be consumed under any circumstances.
The chemist listed the factors that cause irreversible processes in oil vitamins. Oxygen, heat and light are the three factors that promote oxidation.
Therefore, it is important not only not to consume vitamins with an expired shelf life, but also to store them properly.
Earlier, a nutritionist warned about the dangers of overdosing on vitamins.
