High-Dose Vitamins

Meaning

High-Dose Vitamins refers to the clinical administration of essential micronutrients at concentrations significantly exceeding the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), specifically employed to achieve a therapeutic or pharmacological effect beyond basic nutritional sufficiency. This strategy is typically guided by precision diagnostics, aiming to correct specific functional deficiencies, modulate key metabolic pathways, or exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. The clinical use of high doses must be carefully managed, as the pharmacokinetics and potential for toxicity of fat-soluble vitamins, such as Vitamin A and D, change dramatically at supraphysiological levels. This approach requires precise clinical oversight to maximize therapeutic benefit while ensuring patient safety.
