It stands to reason that getting all the vitamins you can everyday is the best course of action due to the fact that vitamins are good for you. The general rule is that it is a good idea if you choose foods that are rich in vitamins. But there are times when more isn’t better, even when it comes to vitamins.

First of all, remember that there are vitamins that have toxic levels. What this means is that there is a point at which consuming more vitamins is not only unhelpful, it can be dangerous.

Helping the body clot blood is Vitamin K. If you get a cut, your blood’s natural tendency to clot will keep you from bleeding to death. But for some people, they would have blood that clots too readily or they have health issues that require thinner blood. Some people with specific types of heart problems may actually be on medication designed to thin the blood. Doctors may also prescribe a blood thinner for a patient getting ready for some types of surgeries. Taking a Vitamin K supplement or eating foods that are particularly rich in Vitamin K may be dangerous even if thinning the blood is your doctor’s goal.

If you’re taking an aspirin each day, your body may be experiencing a Vitamin C deficiency. Aspirin in the system may block this normal absorption action but Vitamin C is typically absorbed by blood cells and this was indicated in some studies.

You may want to consider increasing the amount of Vitamin C in your daily food intake if you need more iron in your body. It seems that your body can more readily absorb iron, tackling that anemia problem more quickly than taking iron alone when you do have enough Vitamin C in your system.

If you happen to be taking antibiotics especially if it’s over a long period of time, then it’s likely for your body to have trouble absorbing sufficient amounts of Vitamin A. If you’re taking drugs to lower your cholesterol, you may also experience Vitamin A deficiency.

Working hand-in-hand is Vitamin E and Zinc. If your body has lower-than-normal levels of Zinc, you may also have a Vitamin E deficiency, even if you’re eating healthy. As for vitamins E and C, they also work together.

The truth is, there are several other interactions that can occur between vitamins, or between vitamins and other conditions, minerals and drugs. Remember that it is possible to overdose on some vitamins, and some can cause serious problems with medication, diet and existing health problems. Talking to a health care professional is the best thing you can do before you start or alter your daily diet or vitamin intake.
