I think we should all be seeing nutritionists!

Sounds almost like the same risks with vitamins as meds. Maybe that is why the FDA is now developing medical "foods" like Deplin????. I know for me I used to take a lot of food supplements as was marketed to me Shaklee and trusted them. Now not so sure. I do know the B's seem to increase anxiety for me so stick with ca and magnesium, MVI, C and the endo tested for D and it's fine. Phillipa

Is there a point where you can have too much of a vitamin and it does more harm than good?

Thanks

Definitely the non water soluable vitamins for example vita A can turn your skin orange, too much E not good can cause bleeding. Many others also. Depends on the person. Phillipa
