Can to Many Dietary Supplements Cause Anxiety? Posted: 11-28-07 18:29pm
My regular rutine of supplements i take
every morning includes a high potency
mutivitamin a GNC calcium/magnesium
supplement that includes 1000mg of calcium
and 500mg of magnesium and 400IU of
vitamin D ,GNC vitamin B complex that
includes at least 3000% of the RDA of each
of the B vitamins,1000mg of vitamin C and
Omega 3 fish oil.And i also take 340mg of
GNC brand Rhodiola Rosea.Does this sound
like to much for my system to handle?I am
a 43 year old male.Today i did a test,this
morning i only took my Rhodiola Rosea,My
Multivitamin and my fish oil and i feal
great without any anxiety all day.So was
just wondering if a person can over do it
with supplements and if they can make a
person even more anxious?Thank You and GOD
BLESS EVERYONE,Keith..

my opinion . . .
I believe it's very possible to overdo
supplements.
A balanced diet is preferrable unless
there is some reason you are lacking
something.
You may want to research the current info.
on fish oil considering the increasing
hazard of mercury in ocean-dwelling higher
food chain fish.
I personally like the B complex
supplements but only every 3rd day.
Unless you have a psych problem I don't
think the Bs will make you more anxious.

I think you need to talk to a naturalist
or someone about this- you can definitely
overdo the supplements.

I agree with Georgia59 too. Supplements
can really do some harm if you are taking
any perscribed medication. Talk to
someone about it first. Rather safe then
sorry kinda deal.

Thanks for all the replys,I'm not taking
any prescribed drugs (I refuse to)the only
other thing i take other than the vitamin
supplements is 340mg of Rhodiola Rosea
once a day.I was just thinking that maybe
swallowing that many pills in such a high
RDA was overkill for my system.I checked
the bottle of my GNC brand vitamin
B-Complex and it says that the B-6 and
B-12 is 125mg of each or 6500% of the RDA
of each which to me sounds like way more
than the system needs?My GP says to just
take the multivitamin and the omega 3 fish
oil but that does'nt seem like it would be
enough.

Can you just call up a naturalist and ask
them? I'd do that. Just check the phone
book for a naturalist or herbalist or
homeopathic person... don't trust the
people at GNC, they're just trying to sell
stuff.
