What happens when you consume too much of a vitamin/nutrient?!


Question:

What happens when you consume too much of a vitamin/nutrient?

If someone consumes more of a vitamin/nutrient than the daily value, what exactly happens? Does the body simply dispose of it? Are there additional benefits? What bad things can happen?


Answers:

If it's a water soluble vitamin, like vitamin C, your body will just get rid of the excess. But other vitamins and minerals can accumulate in your body and cause you harm, sometimes significant damage. too much iron, for example, could kill you. So it all depends on which vitamins you're talking about.
