There are many products of the vitamin or supplement on the market that come with misleading or insufficient information. Therefore, taking them based on the labels can be like playing with health.
- Vitamin C: Many people take many times the recommended daily dose, no problem. However, very high doses - more than 1 g (1000 mg) can cause diarrhea.
- Beta-carotene is converted to Vitamin A in the body. Long-term overdose may lead to weaker bones. Vitamin A overdose is very dangerous for pregnant women, due to effects on the unborn baby. For this reason, pregnant women are advised not to take vitamin supplements containing vitamin A (or fish oil supplements, which are rich in vitamin), and do not eat liver.
- Calcium: Very high doses (over 1,500 mg a day) can lead to stomach upsets.
- Iron: Too much can cause constipation. The official guide is that 17mg per day should be safe for most people, but some people really need more, for example, if you are receiving treatment for anemia.
- Zinc: Too much can cause stomach aches and nausea.
