While vitamin deficiencies are much more common, taking in too much of a vitamin, especially when you take vitamin supplements, is a very serious issue
Why Is It Possible To Overdose On Some Vitamins But Not Others?https://www.scienceabc.com/humans/why-is-it-possible-to-overdose-on-some-vitamins-but-not-others.htmlWhy is this authoritative sounding article propaganda? Because it is full of distortions and lies, well hidden amongst somewhat reliable information. Too many to list, but here are a few falsehoods. However, there is still an upper limit on how much of a given vitamin can be processed by the body. For example, regularly taking more than 2 g/day of Vitamin C can cause nausea and diarrhea.
Very few people have a bowel tolerance as low as 2,000 mg (2 g) and many individuals, like Pauling experience the best of health on 10,000 or more milligrams daily. It turns out that using the measure of toxicity called LDL (The Lethal dose level that kills half the lab rat population) Vitamin C is less toxic than water.Water-soluble vitamins cannot be stored in the body, as they are excreted efficientl
They mean something other than what this is saying, since every vitamin, e.g. Vitamin C is stored in the body within cells. The reason why it takes 28 days to develop frank scurvy when vitamin C intake is cut off is because that is how long it takes to drain the vitamin from cells. They wrongly imply that vitamins are in the blood stream, and only the blood stream.They are both present in dietary substances, but only in trace amounts. Most toxicity comes through vitamin supplements, primarily overdoses of fat-soluble vitamins.
Again, vitamins are almost always non toxic (as opposed to minerals which can become toxic. The best treatment of this issue is in Linus Pauling's book HOW TO LIVE LONGER AND FEEL BETER.
