Safety and toxicity of supplements

Toxicity differs depending on the ingredient of the supplement. For the majority of vitamins, with the exception of A and D, levels one hundred times greater than the RDA are likely to be safe for long-term ingestion. The safety of minerals depends on three factors: the amount, the form, and the balance with other minerals in the diet.
