Can you overdose on vitamins?

[vince76]

Can you take too much vitamins and have health issues? Or its not an issue at all ? Does our body remove what it doesnt need?

Some are removed. In certain cases yes you can over do it. For example too much vitamin C will give you the shits.

You can overdose on fat soluble vitamins but it's VERY hard. You would have to take an entire bottle of multi vitamins in one sitting

You would really have to go out of your way to do it really.

Certain vitamins absolutely. Taking too much e.g. A vitamin can lead to stomach cramping, nausea diarrhea, kidney stones. Some other vitamins taking excessively may increase the risk of organ damage or even cancer.

So you definitely don't want to to overdo it although it's usually pretty difficult unless you're a complete moron.
