Bades and allergic reactions: risks and consequences

1. What are dietary supplements and how are they related to allergies?

Biologically active additives (dietary supplements) are complexes containing vitamins, minerals, plant extracts, amino acids and other components designed to complement the diet. However, their uncontrolled reception can provoke allergic reactions due to:

• Natural components (Bee pollen, citrus extracts, herbs).
• Synthetic additives (dyes, preservatives, flavors).
• Cross allergies (If a person already has a reaction to certain substances).

2. Basic allergens in dietary supplements

2.1. Plant components

• Room sa – It can cause skin rashes, Quincke’s edema.
• Ginseng – provokes itching, urticaria, anaphylaxia.
• Propolis and beekeeping products – Strong allergens for people with honey intolerance.

2.2. Animal proteins

• Fish oil – A reaction in people with allergies to seafood is possible.
• Colenen – It can cause swelling and dermatitis.

2.3. Artificial additives

• Tartrazine (E102) – provokes bronchospasm.
• Benzoat (E210–E219) – Calling urticaria and asthmatic attacks.

3. Mechanism for the development of allergies to dietary supplements

An allergic reaction occurs due to:

• Immune response – The body perceives the components of dietary supplements as a threat.
• Histamine emission – leads to edema, itching, reddening.
• Accumulative effect – Symptoms can occur after a few days of admission.

4. Symptoms of allergies to dietary supplements

4.1. Light reactions

• Redness of the skin.
• Itching and small rash.
• Lacrimation, sneezing.

4.2. Severe reactions

• Quincke’s edema – swelling of the face, larynx, the risk of suffocation.
• Anaphylactic shock – A sharp drop in pressure, loss of consciousness.
• Toxicodermia – extensive rashes with damage to internal organs.

5. Risk factors

• Genetic predisposition (If relatives have an allergy).
• Concomitant diseases (asthma, atopic dermatitis).
• Unscontigated reception (exceeding the dosage, mixing several dietary supplements).

6. Diagnosis of allergies to dietary supplements

• Skin tests – applying an allergen to a scratch to check the reaction.
• Blood test for Ige – identification of specific antibodies.
• Eliiminal diet – canceling the additive and observation of the condition.

7. Treatment and prevention

7.1. First aid

• Antihistamines (Cetine, the Suprasp).
• Hormonal ointments (for skin reactions).
• Enterosorbents (Polysorb, Enterosgel) for the output of allergen.

7.2. Preventive measures

• Reading the composition – Avoid additives with well -known allergens.
• Consultation of a doctor – Before taking new dietary supplements.
• Start with small doses – To check the reaction of the body.

8. Legal aspects and safety of dietary supplements

• Lack of strict control – Bades do not go through clinical trials as medicines.
• Marking – Manufacturers do not always indicate the full composition.
• Consumer responsibility – It is necessary to independently check the components.

9. Alternatives for allergies

• Hypoallergenic vitamins (without dyes and flavors).
• Monocomponent additives – reduce the risk of cross -reactions.
• Natural springs – Obtaining nutrients from food instead of dietary supplements.

10. Research and statistics

• 30% of cases of allergies on dietary supplements are associated with plant extracts (WHO data).
• Growth of appeals to allergists -For 15% over the past 5 years due to the popularity of additives.
• Hidden allergens – In 40% of cases, the reaction occurs to the components not indicated in the composition.

11. Myths and truth about dietary supplements and allergies

• Myth: “Natural dietary supplements are safe” – even herbs can cause severe reactions.
• Is it true: “Allergies can develop after a long -term administration” – sensitization occurs gradually.
• Myth: “Children’s dietary supplements are hypoallergenic” – often contain dyes and sweeteners.

12. Recommendations for choosing safe dietary supplements

• Certificate check (GMP, ISO).
• Reviews and research – studying the experience of other consumers.
• Allergist consultation – Before taking a tendency to reactions.
