Not quite. Take an overdose of Vitamin A. See what happens.


I knew a guy whose sister died of Vitamin A toxicity. Destroyed her liver. She was an anorexic who tried to live off of multi-vitamins. Her cat died of the same shit, cause she had the cat on the same diet as her.


Exactly. Take too much Vitamin B or C and you just pee it out. Vitamin A is fat soluble and stays in your body and an overdose over time can even kill you. I think the Shakleton expedition survivors got Vitamin A poisoning from eating the livers of the Husky dogs that died during their travel. Hair started falling off, skin started getting scaly and scabby, etc. No one knew the Husky livers had high levels of Vitamin A.

Or, just for kicks, try megadoses of St John's Wort (popular anti-depressant). It can affect the strength of
RX Antidepressants
Birth control pills
Cyclosporine, which prevents the body from rejecting transplanted organs
Digoxin, a heart medication
Some HIV drugs including indinavir
Some cancer medications including irinotecan
Warfarin and similar medications used to thin the blood.
