Too much of anything is bad for your health, but generally we don't get enough of vitamins from food. Take the vitamins in a right form and there is no harm done- whole food - and the body will take what it needs.. Wholefood supplements are something I think everyone should be taking.:drinker: Go explore Mercola's http://www.mercola.com website and you will get sensible information that is not funded by drug companies.

Vitamins A, D, E, & K are all fat soluable vitamins so that means if you take too much you run the risk of toxicity because they remain in your body.

Water soluable vitamins like B and C usually get pee'd out when you have a surplus.

Like they said above, too much of ANYTHING is bad!

There are some very serious side effects from overdosing of things that people consider all 'natural' like vitamins.
All supplements should be taken as prescribed on the label, or on the advice of a doctor.
