I am always taking vitamins everyday. I take this regularly because I know I became more active especially at work. I don't feel tired easily and I can handle the work, even though I will have an overnight stay. However, I was thinking if there will be a side effect if I will continously take this for longer periods of time. Do you think there is? How about you, do you take vitamins regularly? Thanks. Have a blessed day to you!

I think it's ok to take vitamin pills everyday. The pill with mixtured vitamin is better. Vitamin is the essential element which keep us in good health but it's also poinsonous to take it in high dose. Just take it according to the instruction. That's safe.

Hi ritazhang! Yes, you're right. You should only take one pill a day because it's poisonous too if you take more than one pill per day. It can be overdosed if you did not follow safety precaution and measures.
Thanks for your advice!
Have a nice day and God speed!

Hello kangying! Thanks for the encouragement! Yes, it would be nice if the vitamins that you usually take are pure natural vegetables and/or fruits.
Have a nice day and God bless!

I think the only side effect you may see is constipation. Your body will waste the vitamins you don't need. I don't take vitamins regularly, although I probably need them. The constipation factor stops me from taking them. I should maybe try to take one every other day or every couple of days...

Hi bestisyettocome. Really? Does it cause constipation? Fortunately, I have been taking this for many years, and since that point, I have never yet experienced of having constipation. However, I was taking on an every-other-day basis and not regularly because I am still studying at that point of time. I used to take regularly when I already start working.
Perhaps, you're right that it may cause constipation and some stomach upsets too if you're going to abusely take more than one pill per day.
Have a wonderful day and may God bless you!

No there is no prolonged side afect from taking them every day at all.They are very important nutrients for our body and i take one thats for women(vitamin)and a calcium pill also every day.I dont want to have brittle bones when i become old and this is very beneficial when taken over the years before menopause and age sets in to deteriate our bones.I thought about my future health at a young age of 24 and have been taking them ever since and im 34 now and i have lots of energy to burn.I skipped 2 days one time and found that there was a difference,less energy.:)

Hello peanutjar! Thanks for the encouragement. I am a bit anxious about this because I know vitamins are made of natural and synthetic formula combinations. As we all know that synthetic chemicals can sometime cause side effects. But since you have told that there is no side effect from taking them regularly, maybe I will be confident enough to take this everyday.
Once again, thanks for sharing your nice and encouraging advice! I really appreciate it very much.
Have a nice day ahead of you!

No Dear braveheart, no side effects at all specially if they are natural. You don't want bad chemicals in your system so the best is take all the natural vitamins you can get your hands on. TAKE CARE

I don't think that there is a problem on taking vitamins, i think that all of us should take vitamins.Our body need a lot of vitamins specially in our days when we do a lot of activities.But there is some time when to much is to much. You should ask somebody like a doctor....
