Experts consider that buying vitamins as food supplements is completely unnecessary for most people.

Excess vitamins are not stored by the body as a reserve, but excreted through urine.

Experts emphasize that care should be taken in the consumption of vitamins. Too little is not good, but neither is too much. Also, there are vitamins, which if taken in excessive amounts, can even harm.

Excessive consumption of vitamin E can cause some side effects such as diarrhea, bloating, headache, feeling weak, fatigue and blurred vision. Taking large amounts of vitamin E will increase the level of alpha-tocopherols, which can cause blood clotting to stop, and thus bleeding. The risk is even greater in people taking blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin.

The most active form of vitamin A is retinol, which has been linked to an increased risk of fractures. Retinol can inhibit the action of vitamin D, which facilitates the absorption of calcium. It is not water soluble, so long-term consumption of large amounts of vitamin A can cause serious side effects, including fatigue, nervousness, mental difficulties, anorexia, nausea, excessive sweating, fever, and the like.

Vitamin C is excellent at fighting infections. Unlike vitamin A, vitamin C is water soluble, which means that if more is taken than the body needs, it will be excreted through the urine and will not do any major harm. However, there are side effects such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps and nausea
