People who rely on taking vitamin C and E daily to fight aging may need to change their habits. The latest research from the UK has found that the "antioxidants" in vitamin C and E have very low actual effectiveness, or may even be completely ineffective. Domestic dermatologists also believe that there is not enough scientific evidence to support the claim that vitamin C and E can fight aging. Moreover, excessive intake of vitamin E may harm liver health.
Taking vitamin C daily to fight aging is a misconception for those who are beauty-conscious! The University of London published in the latest issue of the "Genes and Development" journal that so-called "anti-aging creams" or the "antioxidants" in vitamin C and E have very low actual effectiveness, or are completely ineffective. Domestic doctors are also skeptical about the exaggerated claims of the miraculous effects of vitamin C and E.
Domestic dermatologists believe that there is not enough medical evidence to prove that vitamin C and E can fight aging and prolong life. Some doctors even think that this is the result of long-term over-promotion by the food or industry sectors.
Dermatologist You Hongru: "There are too many theories about anti-aging, of course, antioxidants like vitamin C and E do have antioxidant effects, but whether 'antioxidant equals anti-aging' is questionable."
After all, vitamin C can whiten the skin when applied topically, and vitamin E can moisturize the skin, but excessive intake of vitamins may harm health. You Hongru: "There's no need to take vitamin E every day, because after all, it is a fat-soluble substance, and storing too much of it is not good for our liver."
British scientific research has overturned the claim that vitamin C and E can fight aging. Doctors remind us that a balanced diet, regular exercise, maintaining a good mood, and smiling more are the only ways to achieve the state of "agelessness."
