When excess vitamin B1 (thiamine) is consumed, the body typically excretes the surplus through urine, as it is a water-soluble vitamin. Since the body does not store large amounts of thiamine, any excess is usually eliminated rather than stored. This mechanism helps to maintain appropriate levels of the vitamin needed for metabolic functions without leading to toxicity. Thus, high intakes of thiamine are generally considered safe.

When a water-soluble vitamin is consumed in excess of body needs the excess is?
When a water-soluble vitamin is consumed in excess of the body's needs, the excess is typically excreted through urine. Water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C and B vitamins are not stored in the body like fat-soluble vitamins, so any excess is eliminated rather than stored.
How do you get rid of extra Vitamin A in your body?
To reduce excess vitamin A in the body, it is best to avoid high vitamin A foods and supplements, as well as consult a healthcare professional for guidance. Increasing water intake can also help flush out excess vitamin A through urine. It is important not to self-diagnose or self-treat for vitamin A toxicity.
How does the polarity of vitamin C aid in preventing accumulation of this vitamin?
The polarity of vitamin C allows it to dissolve in water, facilitating its excretion through urine. This helps prevent the accumulation of excess vitamin C in the body, as any excess is readily eliminated, reducing the risk of potential toxicity.
Why is it impossible to overdose on vitamin a but not vitamin b?
Vitamin B is a water soluble vitamin meaning that it is not stored in the body. Your body will use what it needs and flush the remainder out in the urine. Water soluble vitamins need to be replaced on a regular basis. As with any vitamin you should always follow the manufacturers recommended daily dosage. By doing this you will not run into problems. However, Vitamin D being fat soluble, means that it does not get flushed by the kidneys if consumed in excess, and stored within the liver predominantly.
Why will megadoses of vitamin C not be toxic?
Megadoses of vitamin C are not toxic because the body can easily eliminate excess amounts through urine.
What disorder of the liver could result in excess Vitamin B12 in the body?
Liver disease (such as cirrhosis or hepatitis) is a medical condition that can increase vitamin B12 in the body. Some myeloproliferative disorders (for example, polycythemia vera and chronic myelocytic leukemia or CML) can also increase vitamin B12 in the body. Vitamin B12 excess is virtually harmful since it is a water-soluble vitamin. It will just be secreted from the body as urine. The conditions themselves are what is cause for concern. The increased vitamin B12 can just be used as an indicator for the disease.
How does the combination of iron and vitamin C enhance the body's absorption of nutrients?
When iron and vitamin C are consumed together, the vitamin C helps the body absorb more iron from the food. This is because vitamin C helps convert the iron into a form that is easier for the body to absorb, leading to better nutrient absorption.
What happens to excess of sodium inside the body?
Eventually it is consumed by cells. Stored in fat cells. Or leaves the body through sweat.
