How Many Pills a Day Are Safe? Posted: 05-06-06 18:37pm


Hi, I am a 23 year old male and I have a question about how many pills is safe to take a day. Daily, I take an multi-vitamin pill, a vitamin e, and a vitamin c. Sometimes I take an extra vitamin e and vitamin c pill a day, and sometimes an extra multi-vitamin pill a day. So, usually I take 3 pills a day (supplements), sometimes I take 5 pills a day, and rarely, I take 6 a day. Is it safe to take so many pills, or is that not supposed to be a problem? Is there a certain amount pills one should not take daily or something? Also, i'm not asking about the amount of vitamins itself, i'm asking only about the number of pills. Any feedback would be appreciated, thank you!

5 pills a day is a very miniscule amount. What you need to keep track of is what is in the pills and weather or not you are taking too much of any ingredient. A good way to find that out is to google each ingredient, and find out what the toxicity levels are, and what the oda is. Here is a decent guide on the oda's for most nutrients.
