vitamins....am i taking to much?

Question

I am taking a prenatal vitamin and a hair nails and skin.  I have vitamin b super complex,C,D E .....would it be too much to take ALL of those vitamins?

Answer

My ob told me just to take the prenatal but other supplements you may need that may not be in your prenatal could be extra iron or calcium. Do remember you get some vitamins from your diet. I know some supplements will advise pregnant women to ask their dr if they should take them or not.

Answer

Look at all the vitamins you take and see what percentage of your daily value you're getting in total.  If it's more than 100% you may want to consider cutting back.  It used to be thought that if we consume too many vitamins we just pee it all out but I recently heard a lecture by a doctor that said excess concentrated vitamins can actually act like free radicals in your body without the chemicals that occur in natural foods to break them down.  It's best to aim for less than a 100% daily value out of your vitamins and seek out the rest from food sources!
