Hi, my son is 21 years old, goes to gym regularly, and he’s always on some diets. I am happy that he cares about nutrition and health, but I’m afraid that he’s exaggerating. Could he overdose on vitamins?

Hi, I have the same habits and interests as your son. My parents are scared that I will overdose on vitamins, and they’re saying that I am obsessed with nutrition and workout. However, I don’t understand why do they think so. They should be happy that I’m trying hard to be strong and healthy, instead of giving me lectures about it. I am not on drugs, I’m not taking steroids, I’m not drinking or smoking…and their still not satisfied! Well, I don’t care. Yes, I’m taking vitamins, but I will never overdose because I’m not stupid. I know exactly how much is recommended and what is the limit. Isn’t that what doctors recommend? I am also eating healthy foods with lots of vitamins, fibers and proteins, and I’m avoiding bad cholesterol, fried meat and candies. If your son is doing all those things, I don’t understand why aren’t you happy about it.

Hmmm the guy above is defensive... most people are when you question their lifestyle... Anyway, I too take vitamins and although I feel fine ... I've recently been worrying that I take too many.
All in all YES you can overdose on vitamins.
Put that question in a search engine... you will see.
Read up on symptons and make a note ... just to have them handy ...it can hurt to be cautious. |

i dont think thats right
if u take to much vitamin c your system will flush it out before you overdose. and u just pee it out. but no u wont go on the ground and start convulsing u should take the right amounts though incase you imunesystem starts to depend on it some how. |
