Multivitamins, can we take more than recommended?

[Wrestler12321]

Most of the multi's i've taken say 2 a day, but for a bodybuilder can we take 3 or 4?

[-Aaron-]

I wouldn't recommend it as you could overdose on a few things.

[chocolatecookie]

OR pee em out. You will be fine.

check the upper limits of each ingredient to make sure that it is not dangerous to ingest a higher amount, before you decide to start this.

If the multivitamin includes metals DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN THE RECOMMENDED DOSAGE.

Even if it doesn't taking more than the recommended dosage IS NOT going to help you get big.

Excess of certain vitamins can be toxic and if not toxic you are most likely to just pee neon colors from all the excess vitamins being pushed out lol.

I would stick to vitamins that are designed for athletes/bodybuilders and stick to the dosage they recommend.

[CONTROLLED LABS]

stick to a full dosed one meant for athletes. no need to take more than what is on the label

[CaSHMeRe]

personally, i do 2 a day multi-vit + controlled certain other vits...

Example:
Morning Pills:
2 Multi-Vit
1 Vit E
1 Vit C
2 Fish Oil
3 BCAA
3 Glutamine

I feel like chit when I take my multi so I stopped taking it. I just supplement b-6, calcium magnesium zinc pill and fish oil.

High dosed Vitamin A can cause problems.

Try something like Animal Pak if you want to be sure to get everything you need. I wouldn't recommend taking multiples of your all-in-one, as it's real easy to get "too much" iron, etc. That is not a good thing!

I take 2 to 3 a day with food and it doesnt hurt. I wouldnt go over that though.

2 or 3 what??? That could be 50%, 100%, 200% or more depending on which multi and which vitamin or mineral.

Just take the recommended dose, remember you should be getting most of your vitamins from your food anyways.

If this is true, and your not a troll, then listen to your dad and use your brain. Centrum isn't a particularly strong multivitamin, in fact, most of the ingredients are underdosed. However, it does contain 18 mg of iron, among the other metals. Iron is necessary in small doses, but in larger doses can kill you. The excess of the centrum isn't helping you build muscles, and the risk of toxic effect from the metals contained in the vitamin far outweigh any gain from multiple doses. Stop taking 3 centrum.

That dude seems like a troll but he is a kid, bro.

I have been taking them punk one-a-days that seem to effect my urine stream and wallet. Nothing else, though.
