  Vitamins are generally grouped into ‘water soluble’ and ‘fat soluble’; if you take too much of a water soluble vitamin (e.g. vitamins B and vitamin C ) generally the excess will just be excreted – thrown out in your urine… If you take in too much of a fat soluble vitamin (e.g. vitamin A, vitamin E) there may be side effects (known as hypervitaminosis) but you would have to be taking a lot for this to happen… Its always best just to stick to the recommended dose, otherwise you may just be wasting money!!
