Is it bad to eat more than 1 vitamin a day?

Question

My vitamens say 1 day.. but I sometimes take like 6.
I dunno why.

I'm a vegetarian, so I take multivitamins.

Answer 1

It is a very bad idea to do that. Some vitamins can be toxic in high doses. Follow the instructions.

Answer 2

It's a mistake. While some vitamins pass through and can be taken in larger doses than the minimum daily requirement... vitamin C for example, others really should not be taken in excess. You can actually overdose on Vitamin A and some forms of B.

Stick with the program.

It's actually better to get your vitamins from fresh food anyway.

Answer 3

Some vitamins and minerals are poisonous in large doses, like iron. Taking that many vitamins won't do you any good, your body can only absorb so much. You'll end up peeing out most of the nutrients.

Answer 5

If its a multi vitamin, then 1 is plenty per day... you should never over do with pills, come on, use your head! Too many can reek havoc on your nervous system for one, and there are other symtoms too..

Answer 6

6 is too much. try eating more foods with vitamins instead. once though i took alot but you shoukdnt do it everyday. plus vitamin A can be toxic at high levels, same with iron...ok!!

Answer 7

the best thing to to about this is to contact the Dr ===usually vitamins are not needed=if they are taken without Dr's consent , then when a pill is prescribed ,that's how a side effect can happen

Answer 9

Answer 10
