Hey everyone. I eat a couple of nutrition bars a day (balance bars), and also take the Xenadrine EFX (which has about 1000% of daily recommended Vitamin B6 dosage for a full day). at what point am i doing damage to my body by over-supplementing on vitamins?

Here are some numbers:

Balance Bars - Vitamin C (200%) Vitamin E (400%)
Xendrine - Vitamin C (332%) B6 (1000%)

I also take calcium pills too which have their own Vitamins in it, albeit at a lower dosage.

not even close to oversupplementing

At what point would it become oversupplementing then?

Thanks!

hmmmm...... I believe there was a thread on this topic a few weeks ago...do a search you will get better results...
P.S.- I take 1000-200mg Vit C a day + 800 IU of Vit. E ( which is like 1333% DV) just to giv you an idea.....there are some vitamins that you should not overdo b.c of toxicity, i.e zinc, iron....
