Did I take too mayn vitamins?!


Question:

Did I take too mayn vitamins?

I just took a multivitam, Omega Complex, calcium, and a Hair, Skin, and Nails vitamin. Is that too much?


Answers:

Not at all.

If you take mega doses of the fat soluble Vitamins A, D and E you could overdose.

Also with minerals such as zinc, silver, iron and a few others you could overdose if you take mega doses.

Also if you take large doses of one vitamin or mineral you may create an imbalance in the system due to preferential absorption. For example if you consume a large amount of table salt (sodium chloride or NaCl) you may end up deficient in potassium as the Na is absorbed preferentially at the expense of potassium (K) so, in effect, a deficiency of K is often really a gross excess of Na due to too much table salt.

In general if you take the suggested doses indicated on the containers then you should be OK.
