Are there any vitamins or minerals that are bad for you in quantities over the 1!
Question:
Are there any vitamins or minerals that are bad for you in quantities over the 100% daily recommended?
Specifically, folic acid, protein, B6, B12, and iron.
Answers:
Water soluble vitamins are safe to be taken even up to 3 times of daily recommended amounts, because they can easily be washed out through urine, but this is not the same with fat soluble vitamins(A,D,E), They can be really harmful if taken in larger amounts, you must be really careful about them. So you can eat folic acid, B6 and B12 easily.
Iron: depends on your situation. female absorb iron more than males, because they loose iron through periods. Those who have talasemia, gradually become iron overloaded if they need blood transfusions. Iron overload can cause serious damages to skin, brain, liver, gonads, etc. So if you are a girl with heavy menstruation, you mustn't be worried about over dosage, otherwise you must ask some experts about your own situation.
protein: It can cause some disease like gout ( they call it disease of wealthy people) if taken in large dosage.
