Get beta-carotene from food sources for the best results and to avoid potential negative side effects.</p><p><br></p><p>Synthetic vitamin E may be okay short term, but with long-term use it can contribute to oxidative stress. Synthetic vitamin A can also create problems, including competing with vitamin D at the receptor level, increasing the risk of birth defects during pregnancy, and increasing the risk of bone fractures. Get vitamin A from foods like egg yolks and cod liver oil.</p><p><br></p><p>Other synthetic vitamins and supplements to avoid include:</p><p>• Pyridoxine hydrochloride</p><p>• Calcium carbonate</p><p>• Ergocalciferol</p><p><br></p><p>Too much iron can also be damaging to the body, so focus on food sources of iron when possible to avoid consuming too much.</p><p><br></p><p>DATA:</p><p>https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/1104493 </p><p>https://www.nejm.org/do
