Default ODing on Vit. C

Dear Robert,

I recently joined Fitday on July 27, 2003 and have the same type of concerns you do. Only the nutrients I am ODing on are Vitamin C and quite a few others.

I read some article that taking too much Vitamin C (article said 100 mg daily) leads to mental confusion over a period of time. It got that right!

At the same time I have trouble meeting the RDA for Vitamin D*, zinc, magnesium and calcium. *The sun and I haven't been out together in awhile either. Raining here in NC.

I take a multivitamin supplement but started hesitating after seeing most of my nutrients were over 100%.

I'll get to the point--is it only your supplements that are driving you over the limit? How do you get Vitamin D--seems the fortified foods are pastries, breads, crackers (carbs) and milk (too much saturated fat) ?

Attached is my fit-day food link. If anyone can help, let me know.

Thanks!!!

Jeanne
