Too many vitamins?😒

Question

Well I am on biotin vitamins, folic acid, maca, and protein shake, and had to take a break today because yesterday I started to feel bad. I'm better today and Now questioning my self on if I'm taking the too much. Has anyone ever experienced this. I will be soon, speaking to my doctor.

Answer

I can't advise you on which ones to take but taking too many vitamins is definitely a problem because your body can't metabolise it the same way as getting it from the source (e.g. eating more oranges is more effective than taking vitamin C). One or two might have some effect (depending on their quality and the reason you're taking them cause if you're supplementing due to failing to get it from the source it might be a problem with your body's metabolism for that so taking more in that form won't help) but any more will just overload the body and it will be even worse at using them.

Soo after taking to your doctor, maybe prioritise one or two? Or set up a rotation system for taking them? It depends on your doctor what he/she will say regarding vitamins though because it's a polarising subject but do the research and you'll find a lot (not all) of the vitamin hype is a money-making thing.
