Too much of any vitamin can be toxic, even Vitamin C they say but.. (To reach such a dose is near impossible) A common vitamin toxicity cause in children and adults is Iron. Also Niacin is known as well as any other NON-Soluable vitamin(s). It is common in people who eat a lot of certain fish and shellfish products. As a general rule IRON is NOT included in most Vitamin supplements. Now Potassium aka Potassium Chloride is even FATAL as it is used in the Lethel Injection. Potassium like in Bananas is the same Vitamin I mean. Insulin is used to counteract potassium and it works both ways.

Are vitamins toxic if you take to much off them?
Yes. Several vitamins have some sort of side effect when taken in megadose quantities. Vitamin A most readily comes to mind. Remember that there's usually a very large range between the recommended daily allowance of a vitamin and it's upper limit (the point at which toxicity would become an issue). You'd need to consume at least several hundred percent (sometimes several thousand percent) of the RDA of a vitamin for a period before toxicity would become a problem. Don't fret if you happen to have a Centrum multi-vitamin and a few servings of Total throughout the day. On the otherhand, don't go about popping vitamins like candy and be aware of toxicity levels if you are taking supplements. http://www.umm.edu/patiented/articles/what_vitamins_000039_1.htm Good resource on vitamin toxicity levels.
