Does taking a multivitamin every day raise your intake of a particular vitamin or mineral to near-toxic levels?

CheckPoint: Multivitamin Review

 

  • Examine the label of a jar of multivitamins—either one that you currently take or one that is sold in a store. Using Tables 8.2 and 8.3 in Ch. 8 (pp. 239–240, 262), and Tables 9.1 and 9.6 in Ch. 9 (pp. 288, 307–308), determine if the multivitamin would meet the recommended daily intake for adults for vitamins and minerals.

 

  • Relate the vitamin and mineral amounts in the multivitamin to your diet.

 

  • Address the following questions:

 

o    What are some of the benefits you stand to receive by taking it every day?

o    Does taking a multivitamin every day raise your intake of a particular vitamin or mineral to near-toxic levels?

o    What are the consequences of toxicity?

 

  • Post a 200- to 300-word response discussing your findings
