Question

How do you know when it's OK to take more vitamins and minerals than the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) or daily value (DV)?

Answer 1

Taking too much of some supplements can lead to an overdose or serious side effects.

One way is to look for the UL (tolerable upper intake level) of a nutrient. That’s the most amount you can safely take.
