Vitamins are are suppose to entire the body through natural whole food digestion. Not buy man made vitamins. Vitamins need phytonutrients to work anyway. They found that the vitamin C in an orange helps your immune system. So go eat an orange.

∙ 13y agoSome vitamins are more dangerous than others. Large doses of vitamins A, B3, B6 and D are the most common causes of vitamin toxicity. The threshholds at which toxicity can appear are:
- Vitamin A: 3,000 µg/day (5,000 IU/day)
- Vitamin B3: 1,500 mg/day
- Vitamin B6: 50 mg/day
- Vitamin C: 2,000 mg/day
- Vitamin D: 1,250 µg/day (50,000 IU/day)
Vitamins A, D and E are fat-soluable, so they can accumulate in the body more easily than other vitamins, which reduces the margin of safety.
