  1. There are a few vitamins which produce health problems with
    overdose - the oil-soluble ones that are stored in their
    oil-soluble form in our bodies. I'm not aware of any water-soluble
    vitamin that causes health problems in excess. A & D are the
    most documented problem vitamins in overdose. Look for TUL's
    Tolerable Upper Limits in non-commercial listings of vitamins.
    For the most part, excesses of the others simply end up in the
    sewer system!

    B6 is water soluble but still it can cause neuropathy. The tolerable upper
    limit is not so far away.

    The most likely is overdosing of vitamin A (retinol) which is associated
    with reduced bone density.
