Risks Of Too Much Of Vitamins
What seems to have gotten lost in the enthusiasm for vitamins is the fact that too much of vitamin intake can, indeed, be bad.
Risks include:
- Liver abnormalities
- Birth defects
- Reduced bone density
- Nerve damage to the arms and legs (from very high intake of supplements)
- Nausea
- Cramps
- Diarrhea
- Kindey stones
- High calcium levels in the blood
- Hemorrhage (only from supplements and fortified food)
- Kidney stones from supplements; renal insufficiency
