Many patients asked whether these supplements are suitable for them to take? In recent years, there have been numerous Chinese and Western patent medicines or supplements in the market, and many of them claim to be supported by scientific data. For example, the intestinal probiotics Probiotics, which have become popular in recent years, have actually been widely used in foreign countries more than 10 years ago. Other natural products, such as green tea, curcumin, etc., are also more popular in Western societies than in Hong Kong for more than ten years. In European and American societies, these nutritional supplements are equivalent to Hong Kong’s yam, citrus, and barley soup.
Everyone is suitable to take health care products?
Even NMN, which has emerged in the past one or two years, is not very new. I wrote about the same topic on my blog 9 years ago, and those who are interested can crawl the article by themselves. However, with so many different types of supplements on the market, are they suitable for everyone? Doctors are a little different from ordinary people, that is, they understand that many things are not suitable for everyone. At the same time, sometimes instead of just looking at the laboratory report, the doctor will also observe the reaction of each patient after taking the medicine, and then judge whether it is really suitable. In this regard, the same is true for Chinese medicine consultation.
Traditional Chinese Medicine: Taking health care products also depends on physical fitness. Taking allicin can cause eczema
This is what Chinese medicine calls tailoring measures to individual conditions, that is, according to each person’s different constitution, different medicines or supplements are formulated. The same kind of rice can feed all kinds of people, but not all kinds of people are suitable for taking the same supplement. For example, a patient recently came to see a doctor because of sensitive skin. In the past two or three years, he suddenly had frequent skin eczema problems, and he hoped to use Chinese medicine for treatment. After a TCM diagnosis, he found that he had severe lung heat. In addition to using traditional Chinese medicine to clear the lungs, he also needed to block the generation of lung heat. After careful questioning, the patient had been taking allicin for health reasons in the past few years, but garlic can generate heat from the perspective of Chinese medicine, and the patient’s constitution is not suitable for long-term use of this substance. After asking the patient to stop taking allicin, and then taking traditional Chinese medicine, there has been a significant improvement in two or three weeks. Traditional Chinese medicine also has prescriptions for formulating patent medicines or some long-term body-reinforcing ointments for patients. Even simple medicines, such as Bawei Dihuang Wan, are not suitable for everyone’s constitution. Therefore, before taking traditional Chinese medicine supplements, you must consult Go to a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and see what suits your body well.
Health care products can also have side effects: NMN, vitamin C, vitamin B complex, etc.
Even for something as simple as vitamin C, some people will have diarrhea if they take too much and the stomach can’t bear it. Patients with a history of kidney stones should be more careful. Another example is vitamin B complex. There have been some reports in the past that large doses of vitamin B complex may increase the risk of cancer, and there are countless examples. Even NMN supplements, which are very popular anti-aging drugs, still have many people who have traditional heat symptoms such as acne after taking them. In this regard, some simple heat-clearing traditional Chinese medicines may be needed to neutralize them.
It is also similar to traditional Chinese medicine supplements such as deer antler and donkey-hide gelatin. Even if they have the effect of nourishing the body, nourishing kidney qi and rejuvenating, not everyone can take it, and the reason is the same. Therefore, you should pay attention before choosing supplements or health supplements, and consult your doctor first.
