Vitamin B6 and B12 increase the chance of facial fractures! Vitamins are good for the body, so many people will eat nutritional supplements to supplement vitamins, but eating too much may have the opposite effect. Recent studies have found that if the common vitamins B6 and B12 are consumed too much, it will increase the chance of facial fractures. Therefore, it must be consumed according to the daily recommended amount, which may vary depending on gender, age, etc.

According to reports from "Daily Medical News" and "Medical Xpress", a study published in the past using data from 6,837 participants for second-hand analysis was found that people who consume vitamin B6 and B12 nutritional supplements have higher risk of facial fractures. To further understand the relationship between the two, the researchers obtained information about 75,864 women in the nursing health study, and analyzed them after understanding their dietary habits, health conditions, eating nutrient supplements, leisure activities, BMI, etc.

Researchers found that in 20 years, there were 2,304 cases of facial fractures that were not related to cancer or major injuries. They also said that women who consumed a large amount of vitamin B nutritional supplements had a 0.5-fold higher chance of facial fractures.

But if you take a large amount of vitamin B through diet rather than nutritional supplements, the above conditions will not occur. It is still unclear why vitamins B6 and B12 cause increased chances of facial fractures, but researchers speculated that it may be related to the side effects caused by eating too much B6.

Some experts believe that excessive vitamin B6 is accompanied by neurotic syndrome, such as comorbidity (affecting coordination), decreased muscle strength, etc., and these symptoms can make facial fractures more likely to occur. It is also reasonable to show that excessive amounts of vitamin B6 will offset the regulation of estrogen on steroid receptors and accelerate bone loss. As for the role of B12 on a fracture of the facial fracture, no specific conclusion has been drawn.

Although the sample numbers of the study cover thousands of women and analyze their data over 20 years, there are still limitations. The researchers did not know whether these women took nutritional supplements after they became ill, nor did they determine the exact reason for the increased chance of facial fractures caused by B6 and B12.
