How long should VC and VE stop eating

Vitamin C and vitamin E are generally recommended to be taken continuously for 1-3 months and stopped for 1-2 weeks. Long term use should be adjusted based on individual differences, nutritional status, medical advice, and other factors to avoid excessive intake. Vitamin C and vitamin E, as water-soluble and fat soluble vitamins, have different metabolic pathways. Vitamin C has a relatively short retention time in the body, and excessive amounts may be excreted with urine. However, long-term high-dose consumption may increase the burden on the urinary system. Vitamin E is stored in adipose tissue for a long time, and excessive supplementation may cause cumulative side effects. The general population can usually meet their daily needs through a balanced diet. When supplementing, it is recommended to take it intermittently, such as taking it for a month and pausing for a week to allow the body to metabolize naturally.

Special populations such as postoperative recovery, chronic disease patients, or those with clear vitamin deficiencies need to adjust their medication cycle under the guidance of a doctor. Pregnant women, lactating women, and children have different requirements and tolerances for vitamins, and should strictly follow medical advice. It is recommended to regularly monitor vitamin levels in the blood during use and avoid excessive use with other fat soluble vitamin supplements. When experiencing discomfort symptoms such as dizziness and diarrhea, immediate cessation of use and medical attention should be sought.

In daily diet, you can choose more citrus fruits, broccoli, kiwifruit that are rich in vitamin C, as well as natural foods such as nuts, vegetable oils, and green leafy vegetables that contain vitamin E. Avoiding long-term dependence on vitamin supplements and maintaining a diverse dietary structure is the key to maintaining nutritional balance. If long-term use is required, it is recommended to undergo a health assessment every quarter and dynamically adjust the supplementary plan based on the physical examination results.
