Some of the nutritional supplements may be toxic to humans. Candidate of medical sciences Olga Mubarakshina told TASS about it.
The effects of such additives may be due to toxic pollutants, she said. They enter them due to characteristics of raw materials, soil pollution, water, air, production equipment and packaging materials. Therefore, with long-term use, some nutritional supplements may cause chronic intoxication of the body. Lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic are particularly dangerous.
