Vitamins

I feel like I'm coming down with something and I have a lot to do this weekend. So, I decided to take some people's advice from my internship and take an immune booster. I'm not so sure that was such a good idea.

I ask you: Can you have too much of a good thing?

I posit that yes. Yes you can.

Multiply the below ingredients x9 for my daily intake (per the bottle's recommendations)

Vitamin A 100% DV
Vitamin C 2,150% DV
Zinc 150% DV
Selenium 90% DV

Garlic Clove 360 mg
Propolis
European Elder Berry Extract
... and tons o f other extracts, roots, bark, fruits, and etc.

Since when do we need or is it recommended to take 2,150%x9=19,350% of your DV of Vitamin C for multiple days? Repeat content multiplication for excessive amounts of other vitamins, minerals, and random things. The note on the bottle stating: "These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration" was not helping it's craziness cause either.

So, I decided I love life and I don't have insurance...therefore I will stop taking it so I do not die or end up with wacky side-effects that need to be treated.

I may take one per day until I feel better and I will continue with my oregano oil pill. But, call me crazy, no more 20,000% of my Daily Value of Vitamin C though.

I don't know about you. That just seems a tiny bit excessive.
