Question 1

i accidentally took 2 non iron multivitamin, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

No: You will not be hurt with 2 multivitamins.  They are sold over the counter because they are generally safe.  They are also generally worthless for your health.

Question 2

accidentally took two of my centrum womans multivitamins at once, was super distracted. will i be okay?

Accepted Answer

No worries: A person who takes one one-a-day multivitamin each day, and rarely takes two of them on the same day, will not notice any difference at all on the day she accidentally takes two. A rare extra daily vitamin is not noticeable by the human body.

Question 3

i accidentally took 45mg of iron among other vitamins when i took two different multivitamin tablets two nights ago. should i be worried. ?

Accepted Answer

No.: You might have a little constipation but that is all.

Question 4

i accidentally took two doses of one-a-day women's gummy multi-vitamin. is this unsafe?

Accepted Answer

No: Accidentally taking double doses of gummy multivitamins once in a while, such as a couple times a month, is not a problem. No worries.

Question 5

hello, i have had extremely low iron, my ferritin was 4 until i recently had two iron infusions. i am still supplementing iron and accidentally took a multi vitamin with iron as well as two of my normal doses of iron. i took 100 mg in one day?

Accepted Answer

: This is very likely fine but don’t take any further iron doses today. Resume your regular iron doses tomorrow. If you wish to incorporate the multivitamin in your regimen, decrease the amount of the supplemental iron by the amount contained in the multivitamin. If you still have questions, call your doctor. You should have repeat iron studies checked and your doctor can arrange that. Good luck!

Question 6

we usually take a daily b-100 (along with a multivitamin) but all they had this time around was b-50.  so i though we would take two 50's is that on?

Accepted Answer

Sure, but why?: Why take a multivitamin, anyway?  Unless you are on a very restricted diet, or pregnant, or have a chronic disease, multivitamins are safe but usually not effective.  Take any vitamin you have a lab proven deficiency. Otherwise, save  your money and buy a gym membership.  Exercise has a proven health benefit. Multivitamins, not so much.

Question 7

is it safe to take two different types of multivitamins daily ?

Accepted Answer

No need to take: 2 vitamins. You can take too much vitamins which can cause problems.

Question 8

how long does a women's multivitamin stay in the body? i had two. thanks

Accepted Answer

Most over the: counter multivitamins are very weak.  They have a whole list of ingredients in them.  The half-life of each ingredient varies.  Vitamin C, for example, leaves the body in about 12 hours.  W/out seeing the ingredients, it is probable that most of the vitamins will be gone w/in a few days.  Peace and good health.  Also, each person metabolizes various vitamins at various speeds.

Question 9

it says on my multivitamin to take two tablets daily with food. does that mean i should take it at the same time or one in the morning and afternoon?

Accepted Answer

Either is fine: It doesn't matter. Either is fine.

Question 10

can i take two multivitamins and a biotin vitamin at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Why?: Why would you take this?...No need...Chances are that multivitamin already has biotin in it. You will be making very expensive urine. You can only  miniscule amounts of  , then it just overflows into urine and through your skin...Studies are now showing that too much of some vitamins can actually be toxic..Best to just take one good quality multivitamin and talk to your family doc  about vitamins.
