    Default Can Someone Explain Vitamins?

    I'm somewhat confused about what vitamins I should be taking and how many of them. For a general health-support program, what do I need? Also, what are the risks involved of taking too many of the wrong kind, or exceeding a daily reccommended dosage, etc?

    Right now I take a 600 mg Calcium + Minerals pill, a Super B-Complex + C pill, 525 mg of a Milk Thistle supplement, and I'm also taking 2 Ultra Nourishair + 2 Biotin a day.

    What am I missing? Am I getting too much or too little of anything? Most of the vitamins seem to include most of the other vitamins I'd think I need, but I really have no idea what I'm doing and that sort of worries me.

    Any help/suggestions?

    I would take a multivite over any of the skin/hair supplements. They have a better balance of vitamins and far more useful for your body. You may not need the biotin depending on how much is in your B complex. If you work in a smoky environment or smoke, take up to 1500 mg of Vit. C a day. If you're not around smokers at all, keep it at 500mg. Also, unless you get lots of calcium in your diet, I would up the calcium intake.

    With vitamin c, your body is a good indication of how much to tolerate. I'd divide up the doses so you;re not taking everything at once.
