A member asked:
Should i take multi vitamin every other day too be sure i don't get toxic build up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, needed daily: There is absolutely no risk of "toxic build up" from the doses in multi's. The only vitamins that can be toxic are a, e, d ; b6 and i know of no multiple that has anywhere close to toxic levels of any of those. Our body is not able to store b vitamins ; vit c and your body needs those daily so if you take it every other day then you may be lacking needed vitamins on the days you don't take them.
