Although a sufficient vitamin intake is essential there certainly are limits. A long-term dose can have consequences for your body. Due to an overtake of vitamin A you can suffer liver damage, blindness, headaches or bone fractures. Vitamin D can cause kidney stones or kidney failure, week muscles, vomiting or mental changes when taken in surplus. Vitamin C can give you diarrhoea, kidney stones or headaches if you’re not careful with the dosage.
More and more experts recommend all adults to take one multivitamin each day. Just as an insurance against a potential deficiency. Most of the time consumers are deluged with recommendations to take lots of vitamins by people who’re trying to sell their products. But do you really have to take these vitamins ? If you are healthy and eat at least five peaces of fruit and vegetables every day you should be fine. If you are worried your diet isn’t giving you enough vitamins, change it and take one daily multivitamin.
