Multivitamin Overdose

Recent test conducted by independent firm ConsumerLab on popular multivitamin tablet sold in US - Including chewable ones for kids- have found some of these had the vitamin A (retinol and beta corotane ) dosages higher than recommended.

"If you get too much vitamin A,
it can be toxic to your liver "explained Dr. Micheal Cirigliano, an associate professor of medicine at the pereman School of Medecine at University Pennsylvinia.

Generally, one in three of the multivitamin tested were found containing less than the amount of nutrient claimed in their label or had improperly listed ingredients. ConsumerLab found almost no connection between price and quality - as many of the cheaper pills passed all the test, while some of the most expensive ones failed - and has urged stricter regulation of such supplements.
