Rethinking Supplements: What Thai Readers Should Know About Gut Health
Recent discussions on health in Thailand have seen growing interest in vitamin supplements. New research highlights potential gut health risks from some commonly used supplements, including multivitamins, vitamin B12, and magnesium stearate. Readers are urged to choose supplements thoughtfully to support overall well-being.
The gut is often called the second brain because it influences mood, immunity, and energy, in addition to digestion. Health professionals cited in current discussions warn that synthetic or poorly absorbed forms of vitamins can irritate the gut lining, disrupt beneficial bacteria, and place extra work on the liver over time. A practical takeaway is to favor nutrients from real foods and consider whole-food-based supplements when needed.
