Truth or myth: Can you be allergic to vitamins, said endocrinologist Lebedeva – you shouldn’t joke about it

Don’t “prescribe” your own vitamins

Can an allergy to vitamins occur, an endocrinologist explained Dilyara Lebedeva. She wrote in her Telegram channel that allergies to B vitamins are very rare, but many people confuse allergies with a normal reaction to B3 – nicotinic acid. It has a high specificity of acceptance by the body.

Allergenic may be B1 (thiamine), B6 ​​(pyridoxine), B12 (cyanocobalamin), B3 (nicotinic acid).

In this case, you will feel difficulty breathing, itching, severe weakness and headache, and your nose will run. You need to take one of the antihistamines and put your vitamins aside.

But if you feel unwell while taking B3, pay attention to the difference in symptoms.
After a quarter of an hour or a little later, red spots may appear on the body, you will feel heat and hot flashes. This is a normal reaction, not an allergy. This is how this vitamin is absorbed. In 1-2 hours everything will go away on its own.

“The Khibiny remind us” that vitamins are also an interference in the functioning of the body; they cannot be taken unconsciously or at random.
