    Thanks for the information, Senor. I always take these studies with a grain of salt.

      Some vitamins ARE toxic at high doses, others are not. People who wish to take high doses of vitamins should have some knowledge of possible side effects to look out for.

      Some specific examples:

      The toxic effects of high dose vitamin A (synthetic or natural)have been well established for decades.

      High dose niacin, which is used by some to increase HDL-cholesterol (good cholesterol) levels also has well documented undesirable side effects in many patients.

      High dose folate, often prescribed for women who have had a child with a neural tube defect and may become pregnant again may be dangerous by masking macrocytic anemia.

        Take vitamins OCCASIONALLY when you feel RUN DOWN and they will help.

        Take them daily and the body will dump the excess and learn to "ignore" them if not worse.

        Moderation works.
