All minerals, like all things, are toxic in excess. They can create irreparable harm to the body if one is not careful in exceeding the dosage of certain minerals. Some harm could be organ damage and memory loss, among other things.

How do your body get rid of minerals?

The body regulates mineral levels primarily through the kidneys, which filter excess minerals from the blood and excrete them in urine. Additionally, minerals can be lost through sweat and feces. The balance of minerals is maintained by dietary intake, hormonal regulation, and the body's needs, ensuring that excess amounts are eliminated to prevent toxicity.
