Taking three won't kill you but it can certainly make you sick. Some vitamins/minerals won't be flushed out of the body and can accumulate(sp?) if a particular vitamin or minieral is fat soluble - meaning it is stored in the fat of your body. If you are male then you are getting too much iron and probably vitamin A. Since men don't bleed every month like women, they don't need an iron supplement (they're not losing iron). It's very, very rare for a man to become anemic (low iron levels in blood). Iron can build up in men and cause artery trouble, I think I've read. I would take the Centrums as directed since there won't be any benefit and there's a possibility of harm if you're taking 3 a day for a long period of time. Lifting weights won't make any difference. Also, you're wasting your money. My advice is to get a balanced multivitamin specifically for Men. It won't have iron in it. Good luck!

Are you serious??? Well you will loosing money, and vitamins.... your body get rid of the extra energy or vitamins anyway!! you might feel a little energize the first two days, then your body will get used to it, and the pills wont work for you anymore if that is what you want, more vitamins than your body wants, is just a waste of vitamins

Usually it is safe - you will just wee out all the excess that you don't need. You are just wasting a couple of extra tablets of vitamins.
However, some people who are on medications may find that excessively high doses of vitamins can interfere with their medications. This is usually only important if you are having chemotherapy for cancer or if you have some special medicines for if you have a transplant organ (transplant kidney or liver or similar)

Most multivitamin Tablets pose no real threat unless taken in excess of six.Three will probably have no effects,but you might get some nausea,Vomiting and body twitching.This will last about 3-4 hours.
