Please advise if it's bad to take too many vitamins/supplements?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can overdose with any vitamin that has a letter other than b. We generally urinate out the excess b vitamins, but can seriously overdose with a, d, k, e and even d; minerals also can cause problems. Moderation is more appropriate.
