In order for some vitamins to be fully absorbed, they must be oil-based. If they are stored incorrectly, the oil may deteriorate and carcinogens will appear in it, substances that increase the risk of developing cancer.
As the chemist Maria Semenova said, if the oil has become rancid, then it is dangerous.
— Such oil and, accordingly, oil-based vitamins contain carcinogens – oxidation products. They harm the body and increase the risk of developing cancer and atherosclerosis— the specialist noted.
Some vitamins are well absorbed in capsules with oil. These are lipophilic vitamins, for example, vitamin D, E and K, as well as anti-cancer substances – curcumin, beta-carotene.
Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant that helps the growth of new brain cells and relieves symptoms of depression. Beta-carotene is a precursor to vitamin A, and its consumption is good for eye health.
You should also take polyphenols in the oil. Of these, the most powerful, according to Semenova, is the essential oil of clove buds, it strengthens the immune system, normalizes metabolism and thins the blood.
