cool,
I think it will be fine for several reasons:
1. If it is a commercially packaged multivitamin, and you take the recomended dosage, you will definately be fine.
2. As I recall, when you take a multivitamin, you lose most of its value during the digestion process, so you really arent getting as much as you think.
Anyone please correct me if Im wron on this, believe me, I would like to know :)

Most of these vitamins are water soluble anyway, so no harm can really be done. The only one that can cause real problems and be toxic is too much vit. A. Get your A from Beta Carotene, and you will be fine.

HI:
How much of Vit A is too much? The Daily Target is 911.0 µg while my intake Value is 4,972.2 µg. Does it sound too much ?
Thanks
