Is it okay to mix vitamins?

Question

I WANT TO TAKE VITAMINS FOR HAIR/SKIN CAN I ALSO TAKE VITAMIN, E AND VITAM B5 ETC. OR WILL IT CANCEL OUT THE NUTRIENTS ON ANOTHER

Answer 1

Though I think it would probably be okay, you'd probably have the best chance using a multi-vitamin that contains all or most of what you want. If it doesn't contain what you want, you can probably take the other ones in addition. Talk to your doctor or a pharmacist, they will let you know for sure what is right for you and what ammounts you should take.

Answer 2

I have been taking vitamins for a good many years and I can tell you from Experience that you can mix as many vitamins as you want. Most of them just make Urine more expensive. I finally found why I did not feel that I was getting the most out of my vitamins. They were not being absorbed.
I switch to a liquid Mega-vitamin and I could not believe the instant difference in my energy level.
I can now operate at my full potential and I don't get tired anymore.
I am currently using a Mega Vitamin that contains all of the Nutrients including "Folic Acid" and the "B" complex necessary for energy. It also contains "Biotin" for the Hair. I always buy Mail order from Puritans Pride. I am sure there are other companies that can provide you with the same service, but I did find "North Shore" difficult to deal with and their vitamins did not help even though they advertised them as the best. They were not.
I hope this helps you. You don't need to purchase different Vitamins, if you take the One a day Mega Vitamin.
The Liquit Vitamin absorbs completely and I take mine with Orange Juice in the mornings. No bad taste
Just tastes like Orange Juice with a little Cherry flavor.

Answer 3

Can You Mix Vitamins

Answer 4

Depending on what type of vitamin you are mixing, it could be fatel. Some vitimins that are extremely good for you if taken in the right dosage can kill you if you overdose. I believe Vitamin E is one of those.

But taking a multivit and then taking extra C or Folic Acid for example is oaky as long as you monitor the dosage you are intaking to make sure you are not going over.

It is always good to talk to one of the managers in the Vitamin stores if your planning on mixing to get a better sense of which vits are okay and which ones you have to watch closely.

Answer 5

well i heard that u should be careful mixing certain vitimans or too many. some people do take separate ones. thats why i take multivitamins it has pretty much have all the nutrients. there is some vitamins called hair, skin & nails basically like a multivitamin i take those sometimes or prenatal vitamins are cool too because the nutrients are stronger

Answer 6

The only vitamin conflict I'm aware of is between iron and vitamin E. I take vitamins daily, but I take my multi-vitamin with minerals after lunch and then my E after dinner. Also, if you want to take vitamin A, it can be overdone, so beta carotene is safer. Several good books are on the market about how to best use supplements.

Answer 7

Yes and no. Check online to see how much you are allowed to have of each. Some vitamins, like vitamin E, you can take more of, but some you can't. I don't think that they will cancell each other out, but too much of one can make you not well.But a sure thing if you want your hair to grow & your skin to be the best, take OTC prenatal vitamains.

Answer 8

Yes it's quite okay. Nutrient vitamins and minerals do not cancel each other out. In fact, most of them work better (synergistically) in the presence of other nutrients. For example, B works best with C, and C in turn helps iron absorption.

Phosporous, magnesium and calcium work together also.

When it comes to balancing things out, trust your body to do that. Zinc and iron, for example, require a specific balance. Taking one diminishes the other. But that is why you are better off to take both.

If nutrients cancelled each other, it would impede food digestions, since all foods are combinations of nutrients, in various ratios.

If you take a general multi--supplement, plus one or two specific nutrients that you seem to need more of, that is probably about right.

The simplest and best combination is Brewer's Yeast with ascorbic acid (Vit. C).

Answer 9

They won't cancel each other out. Just don't take more than the recommended amount. If you get constipated or just the opposite (diarrhea) back off of the dosage. This means you don't need so much. The same for any vitamin.
You are better off going to your local herbalogious and have them test for what your body needs and doesn't.

Answer 10

Talk to a bio-chemist and he said throw out multi-vitamins as the amount of each vitamin within the pill is so minuscule it does very little. The liquid multi vitamin is somewhat better but not much.

Answer 11

It's ok unless the multi-vitamins you're taking doesn't reccomend using any additional vitamin specifically. I take E and Brewer's yeast (full of B vitamins) with my mult-vitamins and I'm fine. Be sure not to take too much E or B unless your body has a defficiency of those. Too much good can be bad for you. Do some little research on what your body needs and the reccomended dose for each vitamin, or you can siimply ask doctor.
