Do Not Overdose On Vitamins
Although vitamins are good for your body, it is important that you do not overdose on them either. This usually happens when you supplement your diet with vitamin supplements.
For instance, if you have too much vitamin D in your system, you may get kidney damage. Vitamin D is generally good for you, but you need to know the limits. Liver damage is very serious and can cause many other problems, resulting in death.
If you are taking regular doses of niacin, you may find yourself experiencing flushing and stinging of the skin. This is natural, and a side effect that can be managed. However, if you take too much niacin, you are at higher risk of heart and liver problems.
Mineral supplements can be dangerous too. Even if you are just increasing some of your mineral intact by a modest amount, an imbalance may develop which impacts on the ability of your body to utilise other minerals. If you take more than just 5 times the recommended doses of supplements such as iron, chromium, zinc or selenium, it can actually be a toxic for your body.
It is best not to overdose on vitamin supplements. Take only what is recommended by your doctor each day. If you have a health condition, you should always seek his advice.
