A diet
expert has expressed concern for Khloe Kardashian after she shared a picture showing
dozens of vitamin pills.
The reality star posted the snap ahead of
her trip to Armenia and
called it a "Vitamin party!"
The picture showed red, white and
grey-coloured pills in neatly-labelled bags with different days of the week and
the instructions on whether to take them in the day or in the evening.
Helen Bond, consultant dietitian to
Seven Seas, has warned the 30-year-old that "taking too much of some
vitamins can be dangerous."
Next to the picture, Khloe revealed:
"OCD hits hard when I travel!"
She continued: "Note to the ones
who ALWAYS have something to say.... I save the Ziploc bags. And no I don't
have a pillbox because for all the pills I take, the pill box is large and
bulky.
"This is a space saver for ME and
if you save the bags who cares what container I put MY vitamins in.
"Damn y'all are the most negative
people at times. Shout out to my loves who are here to spread love! It's just a
picture you guys.

"Maybe I have a
chill pill in one of these ziplocs for you negative Nancy's. Not sure if you
knew this but the days of the week are the same every single week so you're
able to reuse the Ziploc bags. Mind blown!!!!! Lol [sic]"
Keeping Up With
the Kardashians star Khloe is a regular in the gym and often
posts pictures showing her gruelling work-out regimes.
Speaking to Mirror
Celeb, Helen Bond said: "Popping this amount of vitamin pills is no
substitute for eating a healthy diet, as there is far more in food than just
vitamins, including fibre and other plant chemicals.
"In theory you
should be able to get all of the nutrition your body needs from eating a
varied, well-balanced diet and the easiest way to achieve this is to choose
most of your food from the four main food groups.
"However, whilst you are better off
getting your vitamins from your plate, rather than a pill - with all the
pressures of day-to-day life and being on the go travelling, this isn't always
an easy thing to do.
"Although
not a substitute, food
supplements like Seven Seas Perfect7 Woman can
help to bridge the gap between any dietary inadequacies and to help achieve the
recommended levels of nutrients shown to be beneficial to health."
While it is unclear what type of
vitamins were included in the bags, the dietitian said too much of some types
could be "dangerous".
She said: "What concerns me about
Khloe Kardashian’s supplement haul is that taking too much of some vitamins can
be dangerous.
"Certain vitamins dissolve in water
'water soluble', and any that your body doesn’t need will simply leave your
body when you pass urine - you cannot store 'water soluble' vitamins.
"However, your body can store the
fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E & K and you can become unwell if too much is
taken.
"Plus, some supplements may
interact with some medication and some are unsafe if you suffer from certain
medical conditions.
"My advice if you are going to take
food supplements is that you should always check with your doctor beforehand.
"You can make sure you don’t take
too much of any vitamin by only ever taking the recommended dose on the label.
If you take more than one supplement, make sure that you are not doubli
