Is it possible to get TOO much of vitamins, DHA and folic acid?

Question

Answer

Yes you should not take any more vitamins besides your prenatal without consulting your dr.

Answer

It is possible to overdose on certain vitamins because not all vitamins are easily disposed by your body. An example would be vitamin A. Consult your doctor about what vitamins you are taking and/or wanting to take.

Answer

Too much vitamin A can lead to birth defects. Too much vitamin C could potentially cause preterm labor. Too much calcium could cause problems such as kidney stones and increase risk of malabsorption of other vitamins. Too much folic acid can possibly lead to cognitive problems. Best just ask your doctor.

Answer

Yes if u eat more then one vitamin

Answer

Taking those nutrients in their natural form is fine and you couldn’t get too much but taking them in their synthetic form can be too much for the body to process. Too much of something is never a good thing

Answer

Ehhhhhh. Not really for those, but other vitamins definitely. Talk to your OB, they’ll give you a range to stay within.

Answer

Just to clarify.. I am only taking one prenatal daily. I’m talking about getting an excess of nutrients from food. I’m eating s tong of fruits and veggies (a large variety so it’s not all the same kinds) but I’m worried I might be getting TOO much of certain stuff.

Answer

I think your body just flushes out what you dont need but i would consult your OB/midwife about getting the correct dosage

Answer

For those voting yes.. can you explain which vitamins and the problem?
