Exactly how what are the dangers of overdosing on vitamins?!
Question: The dangers depend on the type of vitamin.
Vitamins B (all of them) and C are water soluble. You can take fairly large overdoses of them occasionally without any damage to your body because they are quickly expelled in the urine. Continually taking large overdoses of water-soluble vitamins can lead to kidney damage.
Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat soluble. These cannot be expelled from your body quickly because they won't dissolve in urine. Instead, they dissolve in your body fat and can stay in your body for a relatively long time.
You will have to take pretty massive doses of Vitamins to see any symptoms, whether you're taking fat-soluble or water soluble vitamins. The effects also differ depending on the vitamin. Vitamin A will cause:
* birth defects
* liver problems,
* reduced bone mineral density that may result in osteoporosis
* coarse bone growths
* hair loss
* excessive skin dryness/peeling
Vitamin D will cause:
* Dehydration
* Vomiting
* Decreased appetite
* Irritability
* Constipation
* Fatigue
Other vitamins will have different effectives when overdosed.

If you only did it once, there really is no harm that can be done to your body because your body will just expel the excessive amount. However, if you do this on a daily basis, it could lead to major problems. Vitamins, like any medication, should be used as directed.
