Does it hurt you to double up on your vitamins?


Question


Does it hurt you to double up on your vitamins?
Most of the vitamins that you buy do not have the recommended daily allowance.


Answer


That may not be wise. Depending on how much iron is in your vitamins it could be very dangerous or at least uncomforable. Iron is rapidly absorbed into your blood stream and taking to much could cause you to become toxic with it. If its not a very large dose and you double up on it, it could cause alot of tummy trouble and constipation. Id talk to your doctor. Hell be able to help you decide if you need to stay on a regular vitamin, or maybe go on a prenatal vitamin they are not just for pregnant women. Hope this helps.
