If I take a multi vitamin am I going to be getting to much vitamins if I eat anything else?

for ex the multi vitamin has 100% of certain vitamins. yet on other things I take it has some vitamins in it itself. like b6. is it fine to get a little extra?

you'll get more of a contentrated dose in one sitting than most people get in a day. There are some concerns about multi-vitamins as some doctors believe we're not meant to get that high of a dose of a consentration of vitamins and minerals all at once. There is very little research on dangers or benifits of taking multi vitamins so unless you're very malnurited, whether a multivitamin is helping or hurting you is up in the air.

There are 2 groups of vitamins. For one group the body just wahes them out via urin. The other group is toxic when being overdosed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervitaminosis For B6 it is said that it is only critical in extreme cases like more than 1000mg/day.

The body will take whatever it needs and all excess vitamins will just go to you urine.
