    even vitamin gummies can be overdosed to a dangerous degree. Hell, even too much water can kill you, it’s difficult to achieve but it can flush out all the nutrients from your body. Always make sure to know how much of anything is safe to put in your body

        not vitamin A but i personally can’t have the vitamin C megadoses available in pharmacies. Apprently my body needs less vitamin C than most people, normally it’s very hard to have too much of it, but when i take a megadose like 1000mg (daily recommended is ~100mg) i get incredibly painful stomach cramps, whilst everyone around me is just fine

          oh yea it causes the runs, and kidney stones. it doesnt seem as severe as vitamin A toxicity.

      vitamin A specifically is toxic. not so much for vitamin D, since people are very deficient in vitamin d.
