layton Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 I've heard rumor that the WTO will place a ban on over the counter supplements that are over the RDA...so you will need a prescription for your vitamin C. I heard that this already took effect in europe and over the counter multivits are super expensive now. This is supposed to take effect June 1st i hear. is this true. if so WTF WTO? Quote

Dru Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 i can just see the "new world order" black helicopters sweeping down to arrest you for taking 1,000 mg of Vitamin C Quote
tomtom Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 And I got an unsolicited email from a Nigerian Prince proposing a business deal that will make me RICH!!!!!!!! Quote
catbirdseat Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 You can safely take 1000% of the RDA for Vitamin C and give yourself expensive piss, but please don't make the mistake of taking 1000% of any of the fat soluble vitamins, especially Vitamin A. Quote
Squid Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 unless you wash it down with lots of olestra. Quote
Dru Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 Don't you mean Vitamin E? Vitamin A is carotene - not a lot of fat in carrot juice for that vitamin to be dissolved in Quote
layton Posted March 23, 2005 Author Posted March 23, 2005 no, vit A is a fat-soluable vitamin and more than the RDA is bad news....BUT Mr. Catbirdseat, when taken in the form a beta-carotein, the body cleaves it into 2 units of vit-a until the desired amount is needed. no more. so since your body regulated vit a intake through beta-carotein...you can't o.d. So unless your buyign some weird brand of vitamin that gives you pure Vit A, you shouldn't destroy your liver at all. And Dru, there is no evidence to suggest a mega does of Vit E is bad for you.

Dru Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 And Dru, there is no evidence to suggest a mega does of Vit E is bad for you. large doses of vitamin E linked to higher rate of heart failure - news story march 21/05 thanks for the info on vit A mikey. i was worried when i saw the info on the carrot juice bottle said it had 700% of the rda and i was drinking two of them a day Quote
layton Posted March 23, 2005 Author Posted March 23, 2005 i just read that story minutes after posting this. d'oh! it;s only doses over 400IU which is A LOT...lower than that is good for you due to its amazing antioxidant benefits...in fact it's one of the TOP antioxidants. good thing if you're dumb enough to dring hyperoxigenated water or go to oxygen bars, or watch the oxygen channel.
