Can you overdose on dietary supplements?

Yes. Taking excessive amounts of certain vitamins and minerals through supplements can be harmful. Fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D, E, and K can accumulate in the body over time. Minerals including iron, zinc, and selenium should also not be consumed in excessive amounts. It is therefore important to follow the recommended daily dosage and seek medical advice before taking high-dose supplements for an extended period.
