Beauty in tablets should only be used as a supplement in order to enrich your diet or to complement any possible nutritional defficiencies. An extra contribution of energy may have a positive effect on the skin, hair and nails. Why? They regulate the body in order to give it those ingredients which either have been lost or that the diet does not contribute.

The majority of these are dietary supplements of free consumption, which is to say, which can be acquired without the need of a prescription, but whose beneficial effects may become non-existent or even dangerous if they are not controlled by an expert.

It is true that the excess of vitamins C and E, for example, is easily eliminated from the system via urine. However, the same cannot be said of excesses of vitamins A and D which remain in the liver, in the process possibly causing hepatic disorders, nausea, loss of appetite and bad colour.

Therefore, the best thing to do before buying any so-called miracle packages is to find out from a doctor specialised in naturopathy or phytotherapy what is the treatment which most suits your needs.
