Are Your Supplements Safe for You?
Unfortunately this simple and reasonable question may have a complicated answer. The simplest way of answering this question is to break it down into three questions.
- Major Contraindication to the Use of Nutritional Supplements?
- Minor Contraindication to the Use of Nutritional Supplements?
- Total Daily Intake of vitamins or minerals from supplements and food that is excessive?
That is one that exceeds the Safe Upper Levels or Guidance Levels set by the Expert Committee on Vitamins and Minerals in 2003, and, if so, should I be concerned?
