People taking high doses of vitamins often feel that “if a little is good, more is better”. Are they right?
No. It is possible to maintain a good nutritional status with relatively small doses. If you eat a balanced diet and do not require extra vitamins for a specific reason (for example, you are not pregnant, nursing, on a strict-diet, smoking, drinking heavily, on the “pill”, or under severe physical stress), your food should give you all the vitamins you need. By exceeding the general guide for safe use of supplements, a person increases his or her risk of developing vitamin toxicity.
