Vitamin Worst Effects

However, if you take too many of the vitamins that your body needs, and you end up with too much of a certain substance in your system, it might be that there are side effects that you had never even thought of before. This happens when someone takes too much of a certain nutrient, thinking that if some is good for them, more much certainly be better for them. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. In situations like this, if some is good, then some is all you need. Taking too much of a good thing, when it comes to nutritional supplements, can actually be very harmful for you.

If you are taking large doses of some of the vitamins, you will be seeing side effects. It tends to be that the side effects increase in severity with each increase in the amount you put into your body. It is very unlikely that you will see these side effects if you are getting your nutrients from your food, but if you are taking supplements; you might be able to see the side effects.

Some of them, such as nausea, diarrhea and vomiting, are obvious signs that you have taken too much. However, the good news is that unlike the side effects that are found with drugs, side effects from taking too much of a certain vitamin or mineral supplements will usually not cause you lasting or permanent damage. Instead, they will fade away when you have stopped taking too much of the nutrient.
