I recently started supplementing with vitamin D3, vitamin K2, and a multivitamin.
I also eat leafy green vegetables almost daily.
I'm wondering if I'm overdosing certain vitamins.
On average I'm getting about 600-800% of the RDA of vitamin K through eating green vegetables. I also get an additional 6000% through supplementation.
I consistently hit over 300% of the RDA for vitamin A.
In addition my vitamin D3 supp provides 1000 IUs which is 250% of the RDA dor vitamin D.
Am I overdosing? How much is too much? Do I need to "cycle off" certain supplements occasionally?
Pic not related obviously.

>On average I'm getting about 600-800% of the RDA of vitamin K through eating green vegetables. I also get an additional 6000% through supplementation.
Maybe take it down a bit if you want. I haven't seen anything about negative effects from taking too much K though
>I consistently hit over 300% of the RDA for vitamin A.
If it's beta carotene then don't worry about it. A single carrot has that much Vitamin A.
>In addition my vitamin D3 supp provides 1000 IUs which is 250% of the RDA dor vitamin D.
1000 IU is fine.

Why do you think you need D3, K2 and a multivitamin? D3 your body makes from sunlight. Go out in the sun. In the winter, your body will pull it from fat stores. Why K3? Really? Multivitamins are a waste of money.
>>35080204
Do you know how much you would have to consume for negative effects to occur?
>>35080337
It's not so much about consuming a lot in one go (though that could cause other negative effects) but using it frequently over a long time period.
You need like 5 grams to overdose on K which is really a lot. Your nose would probably clog before you could do it all deesu.
The thing about olney's lesions was bunk but that shit will still fuck you up if you use long term.

Drop the K2. there is literally no reason to take this. everything else sounds fine.
>>35080329
You realize that if you live far enough away from the equator your body can't get enough sunlight to make vitamin D?
>>35080613
Everything I've read says that it's great for bone and cardiovascular health.
It helps your bones absorb more of the calcium you consume and helps prevent artery hardening.
My family has a history of heart disease so the latter is important to me.
I do 15000 IUs of D3 and 25000 IUs of A every morning. Works well.
Keep in mind that daily FDA recommended values are bullshit. Theoretically they're the minimum you need to function. But then you look at things like potassium, where the most you can legally put in a supplement dose is 99 mg, which is only 3% of your supposed daily requirement.
>>35080660
*cough* bullshit.
>>35080773
>>35078230
All perfectly fine bro
K2 is so important for testosterone production and bone health (absorbtion of calcium)
D3 is about as important as they come. It regulates over 1000 body functions
Maybe drop the VIt A supplement. Not too many people are deficient. Eat lots of meat and green leafy vegetables and you will be fine on vit a (I am assuming you already do)
>>35081131
The vitamin A is coming from my diet and multivitamin. I'm not taking a dedicated vitamin A suookement.
>>35081315
>suookement
Whoops. I'm typing on a new keyboard that's bigger than I'm used to so I keep on missing keys by one space.
That's supposed to say supplement.
I'm on 10000 d3 in winter. Helps me stave off the winter blues.
I eat three decent size carrots every morning for that vit à and the skin gains.
Then I take 50mg zinc and 400mg mag citrate every night. Raging boners, high libido, good sleep.
Stopped taking fish oil because its total bullshit. Pufas ain't good for you. Sat fats all the way.
>>35078230
Google the DRI for any vitamins you may question your intake on. This will let you know the minimum, optimum, and max you should take of any vitamin.
>>35081356
>Stopped taking fish oil because its total bullshit. Pufas ain't good for you. Sat fats all the way.
To my knowledge PUFAs are only bad for you because most PUFAs contain a bunch of omega 6. I haven't seen anything that says omega 3 is also bad for you.
>>35078230
I've taken 10,000IU vitamin d3 daily for the last 3 years and I've been fine, altho my vitamin D levels were about 1/10th of what they should've been when I got tested. A year of 10,000 a day and they were at 7/10ths of ideal. So I guess I'm prolly propa now.
>>35080329
Multivitamins are extemely useful.
They are unbelievably cheap, costing roughly 5 cents or less per pill.
While a lot of the vitamins you will generally pass if your body doesn't actively pull them out at the moment. You keep a lot of the minerals.
If you take a multivitamin once a day, you are spending 5 cents to ensure you pull some level of nutrition out of them.
>le multivitamins are completely wasteful may may.
>>35081570
An abundance of omega 3-6/monosaturated/polysaturated/transfat/saturatedfat is bad for you.
The problem is you are a lot less likely to have an abundance of omega 3 in your diet as an average human on the planet right now. since omega 6 is in most first world foods.
Take islanders that only eat fruits/fish/nuts
Sure they look skinny as hell because of a high omega 3 polysaturated diet.
They also generally do not bulk ever because they don't get a lot of high density fat or protein.
In a perfect world your fat supplies daily would be 60% omega 3, 40% omega 6
Too much omega 3 causes blood thinning and prevents clotting which is mandatory for closing off certain portions of the body to neutralize viruses/bacteria/or in general do maintenance.
The levels needed are insane though.
to quote
>"To answer your question, the short answer is no, you cannot take too much omega-3s. There is, however, one exception, for individuals who take anti-coagulant drugs or have blood coagulation problems. They probably should avoid fish oil supplements since omega-3s can affect blood clotting. Very high intakes of fish oil/omega-3 fatty acids (termed "Eskimo amounts" by the National Institutes of Health, in reference to diets that consist almost exclusively of fish) may increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke and have been associated with nosebleed and blood in the urine.

Is it ok to take more than 1 tablet of 1000IU Vitamin D or is it hard for the stomach to digest or something? I want to take at least 3
>>35080708
>Everything I've read says that it's great for bone and cardiovascular health.
All vitamins are good for you.
>It helps your bones absorb more of the calcium you consume and helps prevent artery hardening.
It does. Taking D3, K2 and a high calcium diet is a good way to become a textbook case of supplement induced hypercalcemia. Drop the K2. Keep taking D3 if you live far north/south of the equator.
>>35081131
>K2 is so important for testosterone production
that's absolute bullshit.
The only studies done on this were using rodents or isolated cells. Also the doses used in the studies were ridiculously high (equivalent human dose was like 12mg)
>>35080834
I'm a different guy, at work north of the arctic circle here in Alaska. I don't get enough sunlight to make Vitamin D, because the sun won't come up until January.

Me and you can look like a hot girl with a proper photographer, filters, cosmetics, light, photoshop.
"Real life" photos are the litmus test for judging professional models. Most of those models are fucking shit if you see them IRL, they are just tremendously photogenic with some work.
She's an average cow, there are tons of girls better than this shit - also, she's literally all fat and zero muscles. She ain't even "HIGH TEST", she's just fat. Ten years and her tits will reach her knees.

unless you're gay. you gay?
>>35078230
like the other posters said, A is fine as long as it's beta carotene, D is fine, K might be a problem. no reason to take extra K or A if you're eating well like you say you are.
>>35085748
No, I wouldn't put a baby in her rotting wombs.
No, I'm not gay. I prefer a healthy young companion like webm related.

Take note of how she places her hands right above her waist to hide the fact she's fridge mode; filters hide the decadence of her skin and the abs from fucking nowhere are Oscar-worthy

She's 24 and she seems 34 already
Actually there are 34 yo ladies who seem younger
>>35085840
Just curious, what's wrong with her push up form?
Do not supplement vitamin K unless it's in a multivitamin, do you realize that the most common cause of death for hare hunters is death from vitamin K overdose solely from eating their prey?

read the sticky you turd
I was low on vitamin D and just got some from doctor. What benefits have people noticed supplementing it?
I feel more awak (reason why I went to doc and got blood test) I don't know if that's linked to it.
>>35085899
To be a little more in-depth:
Doesn't maintain flat/hollowed-body position on the back
Over-arches at bottom
Tips head back
Doesnt protract fully at top
her leg-raises are shitty too. uses momentum, kips, bent legs, shitty compression
>>35085840
You're arguing about what's a better cut of filet. I'd break my dick off in her pooper.
>>35078326
Lmao someone on this board literally died because of vitamin K
Do you even know what vitamin K does? Retards like you talking about stuff they dont know shit about
First of all, vit K is needed for the production of trombocytes. The things in your blood that make it heal wounds. By overdosing on vit K your body will produce too many of these and as a result your blood will become thicker
guess what haplens when your blood becomes thick
Besides this this is just one of the things that will happen
>>35085840
her knees are too sharp
>>35078230
medfag here, vitamin D is highly toxic in high dosages. A 5 years old girl got her kidneys fucked up due to vascular calcifications 'cause her dumb mother gave her a shitload of vitamin D.
Guys stop being autistic about this vitamin thing, unless you are anorexic/highly malnourished/have inherted syndromes you'll NEVER EVER LACK VITAMINS with a western diet, no matter how shitty and poor it is. Stop wasting your money on useless supplements and focus more on lifting
>>35086076
Vit A is too isn't it, that's the one that Shackleton?.. Or someone, one of the antarctic explorers fell prey to when he ate the dogs.
>>35086076
I am neither of those and I am deficient in vitamin D as shown by blood test.
>>35086076
The question isn't if vitamins can become harmful in high enough doses. Everyone know that.
The question is at what dose do they become harmful.
>Chronic toxicity occurs when large amounts of vitamin A build up in the body over a long period of time. Symptoms include visual changes, bone pain, and skin changes. Chronic toxicity can lead to liver damage and increased pressure on the brain.
>>35078326
Don't you know the story of Vitamin Avenger and TYVD?
>>35086076
fuck off, prett much anything is "highly toxic" at "high dosages"

Pharmacist here didn't read all the replies but which form of K2 are you taking k2 and how many mcg/mg? K2 isn't found in vegetables only K1 so you need to separate your RDA for the two. D3 works well with K2 as you appear to be aware depending on where you live you can easily take between 5000-10000iu no problem i.e. more sun take a little less new england for example take more. Vitamin A is incredibly difficult to calculate RDA for because it comes in so many forms and the nutritional labels don't take into account the way it is absorbed and metabolized so you may think you're getting 300% and actually getting substantially less. High dose vitamin A will kill your liver eventually but I don't remember the tolerable upper limit off the top of my head. See http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/vitamins/vitamin-A#RDA for a better understanding of calculation of actual vitamin A intake. No you don't need to cycle any of those but since they're all fat soluble you should get some bloodwork done just to establish a baseline level and then maybe get it redone in 6 months to a year. RDAs are the absolute minimum a person should have instead of an adequate amount like the name suggests you need over the RDA especially if you're lifting.
>>35091450
The one I'm taking contains 5 mg of K2 as MK4.

No, you fucking autist, that's a totally natural pose and if you can't sit on your ankle like that you should visit a doctor - or lose those 300+ extra lbs you're carrying around.
>>35091982
I know you can sit in your ankle, however is this specific picture, her feet is unnaturally dragged to the left side. Seems like you don't know shit about basic anatomy.
Her knees should be way more "open" in order for her feet to be in this angle.

Don't start off with injection man. Do a few lines (100mg should be sufficient) and see if you like it. Then consider IM injection.
If you do decide to do it, try some nitrous oxide to 'simulate' a short-lived k-hole.
>>35091693
>>35094041
you should try to get both MK4 and MK7 but 5mg is a pretty large dose on that MK4 they've done studies to at least 45mg that i'm aware of in elderly patients. More typically mk4 is between 400mcg-1mg. But yeah get those blood tests they should be fairly cheap possibly covered by insurance if you have any and that will give you a really good idea of how much it's helping or hurting(unlikely)
>>35094861
Wow, I can't believe this thread has lasted this long. Thanks, I'll reduce my dosage once my current bottle runs out. Sounds like I'm taking way more than I need even if it's not reaching toxicity levels.
