Let's look at two powerful antioxidants, Vitamins E and C, and fish oil capsules which are specifically recommended as eye care supplements.
Vitamin E, like gingko biloba, has anticoagulant properties, and therefore people with high blood pressure or vascular disorders need to be careful when taking it. This group of patients are routinely prescribed the blood-thinning agents warfarin and aspirin. If the dosage of Vitamin E they take as an eye supplement is not increased under the watchful eye of a healthcare practitioner, they are very likely to find their condition exacerbated.
Similarly, large doses of Vitamin C, associated with reduced risk of cataract development, are not without their dangers.
Large intakes of Vitamin C can alter the results of blood and urine tests, and may mask blood in stools that can indicate bowel cancer, so first inform your health-care provider. Diabetics, who inject with insulin, should also be aware that vitamin C in the urine can lead to inaccurate sugar results.
