According to him, vitamin D is especially dangerous.
The specialist says that properly selected food contains all the vitamins necessary for a healthy person. Vyalov is surprised that many people are sure that their bodies suffer from a deficiency of these micronutrients.
“When we talk about vitamins, we always have a presumption of guilt for some reason. Everyone firmly believes in vitamin deficiency, ”the expert shared his point of view.

The doctor reminded that the body needs 600-800 IU of vitamin D per day.
