I take a multivitamin that contains 100% of the daily vitamins I need.if I eat food a that send me over 100%, is that OK?
Hi Trm,
My opinion on your Question would be that your body will tell you if you have a over% of vitamins in your body. The side effects are normally nausea,diarrhea and stomach cramps.

Not so!! Some vitamins actually stay in your body. Vitamins are broken up into two categories: fat soluble, such as A, D, E or K, and water soluble, including all of the B vitamins and vitamin C. Fat-soluble vitamins stay in your body, whereas water-soluble vitamins are absorbed immediately, with any excess being excreted in urine.
The RDA is nothing more than a baseline which has been identified as preventing certain health problems so the body would 'function'.
In terms of actual vitamins though, those RDA levels aren't nearly enough to make a difference when it comes to actual health for the better.
I wouldn't be worried about 'going over 100%' with eating food.
If anything, it is very likely that you will just be over in the green range just above 'baseline'.
In short... it is not a problem or dangerous.

To prevent unwanted side effects, avoid vitamin supplements that contain mega amounts
-- more than 100 percent of the recommended daily allowance
-- of particular nutrients and those that promise miraculous benefits.
