VITAMINS
Will taking extra vitamins make me more healthy?
As long as you are getting enough for your immediate needs in your normal diet, extra vitamins won't make you extra healthy.
Extra vitamins are not used by the body, but are disposed of or stored up. If the vitamins are water soluble they are simply passed through the system and out of the other end eg vitamin c and B complex, if they are fat soluble A,D,E,K are stored in the body and remain unused unless daily supplies dry up
