my friend takes a hand full of different vitamins and minerals every moring and i was just wondering and if it was tocix to you body what are some of the consequences of toxicity

Ms. Sue · Answer

One multivitamin a day isn't harmful, but taking many different vitamins could be. I suggest your friend show a pharmacist the vitamins and minerals s/he is taking and ask for advice about them.
