Hey brainiac! what are some bad affects of having too many of the same vitamins? "

While having a good supplement of vitamins can be good for us, it can also be unhealthy for us as well.

Here is an example:

Vitamin A ~ Vitamin A can be good for many things including vision, the immune system, and reproduction (pregnancy more or less). But while vitamin A has a lot of benefits, to much of it can be bad for us, and cause scary side affects. Some of these may include liver problems, birth defects (again in pregnancy), or lower bone density. Some serious side affects may include jaundice, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and in some serious cases even hair loss.

In the word Vitamin nowhere does it say “Take as much as you would like”. Yes, as much as we are to limit our access to ‘junk food’, we want to make sure we limit our access to vitamins as well. While these vitamins are needed for our bodies, we need to make sure we are taking just the right amount.

Hope this helps you!
