Over eating vitamins can actually kill you. for example vitamin a is found in carrots but in excess will cause blindness. if you are eating healthily you shouldn't need vitamins but if you do take them take them only in the recommended dosage.

Hmm, well I dont know what the side effects would be probably nothing, but I wouldnt suggest it. I knew a woman who took too many of some kind of thing and they build up in her immune system and she had to keep taking more and more because she was deficient. The safest bet would be to talk to a doctor, but that would probably be awkward. You could call the help line on the back of the bottle, or go to the site. Like I Said, theres probably nothing that would happen, but theres always a chance that you culd have a problem with your immune system like that and if its something as silly as taking too many vitamins wouldnt that suck? So I would take the high route and find out the possibilities, before taking too many. Worst case senario, you can only have one a day. Thats not too bad is it?
I hope I helped. Sorry I dont know more about multivitamins. Love ya,

STOP!! Eating more than the required vitamins a day could make you seriosuly ill. It is no joke. Try to eat something that tastes like the vitamins, that you can snack on.

Love,

Why don't you just buy some tasty snacks and snack on them? Maybe you just want something sweet and crunchy. Try some grapes or something organic. Yeah but don't go crazy on the vitamins. Not healthy. Peace

Too much vitamins are bad for the body, same for protein. Too much vitamin would be stored as fat or in worst scenarios, you get sick.

Depends on the vitamin if it's water or fat soluble. Vitamins A,D,E and K are fat soluble and you stand the most chance of overdosing on them but it takes a whole lot and usually over a period of time. All other vitamins (B and C for example) are water soluble and very hard to OD on. Now if we just use some common sense when the bottle says to take one- then just take one and you won't have to worry.
