    When Colleen was advised by her physician to avoid taking high-dose supplements of certain vitamins that can accumulate toxic levels in her body, he meant Vitamins A, C, D, and E. These 4 are most popular vitamins but can hurt us with too much intake.

    Vitamin A - They can build up in the body leading to hair loss, confusion, liver damage and bone loss.

    Vitamin D - can cause your body to absorb too much calcium and lead to calcium deposits in your organs, constipation, kidney stones, confusion, poor appetite, nausea, and vomiting.

    Vitamin E - lose its main benefits when taken in excess.

    Vitamin C. - Vitamin C is water soluble, which means that if you take more than your body can use, adverse reactions like stomach cramps, diarrhea, and nausea can occur. Vitamin C can cause kidney stones also

    Many vitamins can cause acute toxicity in the body. Vitamins B, E, A and iron can all cause toxicity if taken in large amounts. Vitamin A and iron are the most publicized overdose culprits and should be avoided unless consulted by a doctor and advised to take them.
