Usually, if it is a vitamin or mineral your body needs, if you consume more than your body needs, it will get rid of the excress that it can not absorbe via urination or bowel movements.

Have you ever taken a multi vitamin and you see your urine turn bright yellow, this is the excess vitamins your body is getting rid of.

If you take minerals such as Ferrum (Iron) your bowel movements will be darker. That is the excess Iron that your body can not absorb.

This would go the same for if you got too much vitamin or mineral via food (which would be pretty hard to do, hence why most people take a multi vitamin)

Your body is pretty smart, it will take what it needs and get rid of the rest, just becareful not too take to much too fast, your body may know to get rid of it, but if you take it in ways that doesnt give your body time to get rid of it, you can OD :s
