In recent years there has been a lot of buzz about taking vitamins and supplements for common health problems. Many people have vitamin D deficiency symptoms and they lack other vitamins like vitamin A too. Often people will take many different vitamins to try to address this problem. However, it is possible to get too much of some vitamins. One example is vitamin A.

People who have too much vitamin A in their diet can have serious health problems that include:

• Stomach Upset: Overdose of vitamin A can cause nausea, loss of appetite and vomiting.
• Hair Loss: It is common for people taking too much vitamin A to experience hair loss.
• Bone Pain: People with vitamin A toxicity often complain that their boens ache.
• Skin Problems: Too much vitamin A can affect the skin.

If you are taking vitamin A it is important not to exceed the recommended daily allowance of this vitamin to prevent these symptoms.
