Howcome they say not to mix regular orange juice with pills?!
What could happened!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
The effects of consuming orange juice with 'pills' will greatly depend on what type of pills are being consumed!.
Taking orange juice and vitamin C pills (usually containing ascorbic acid, a compound that is turned into vitamin C inside the body) poses no health risk!. Some vitamin C overdoses could potentially cause irritation in the digestion tract and diarrhea, but you would have to drink a couple gallons of orange juice and then take a whole bottle of vitamin C pills!. Since vitamin C has a half-life of about 30 minutes inside the body, and excess is expelled in urine, there is little risk of vitamin C consumption accumulating inside the body and causing an overdose!.
Some studies have suggested that drinking orange juice that has been fortified with added calcium while taking antibiotics may reduce the effectiveness of the antibiotic medication!.
The acidity of orange juice should not pose a problem!. While orange juice is one of the more acidic foods we consume in large amounts, with a pH of around 3!.5, the gastric acid inside a human stomach has a much more acidic pH of about 1!.5!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
