Can taking too many nutritional supplements each day cause harm?

I went to the store the other day and went pill crazy. I bought daily vitamins, biotin for my hair, alpha lipoic acid for my skin and ginko for concentration along with an iron supplement. Is this too much to take each day or is it okay?

Is it okay to take these vitamins I bought? (details inside)?

I'm 16 years and turning 17 in two months. I dropped out of school because of social anxiety. I decided this year that I want to take GED classes or attending some program my school district offers for dropouts. HERES THE THING; I have a hard time remembering things and concentrating. I heard that the vitamin "Ginseng" can improve concentration and give you more energy and sense of well being. So today I went to the store and bought a bottle of "Ginseng Xtra" by Sundown and a bottle of "St. Johns Word, 300 MG" by Sundown. The St. Johns Word is supposed to "promote a positive mind".

So does Ginseng usually work? Are these vitamins safe to take? On both bottles it says they're Herbal Supplements. I really need something to improve my concentration and mood.

Believe it or not, I am almost 50 years old, and the thing I love about the Young Living essential oils is the physical and emotional benefits that they provide. Today, what I'd like to talk to you about is the Lemon essential oil, how I use it and many other ways that you can use it. Lemon essential oil is known to be a powerful antioxidant and immune stimulant, and you can get those benefits simply by adding it to your water, and that will flavor the water and give you those benefits. Another way you could take it internally is by putting some in a capsule from Young Living. You could put a few drops in a capsule, playing with the amount, and simply swallow it. Lemon essential oil is not the same as lemon juice. Lemon oil is made from the rind. Nevertheless, it could be used in cooking for seasoning and for flavoring in baking. You could put it in other beverages and even make your own lemonade with a few drops of lemon oil plus water and sweetener, playing with the amounts. There's a trick with Lemon essential oil to extend the shelf life of your fruits, and that is to wash your fruit and then dunk them in a bowl of water that has drops of lemon oil in it. Lemon essential oil would be good to diffuse in your ...

Looking for natural remedies for bi-polar/schizophrenia?

I am on 300mgs of seroquel to control what my Primary Care Physician calls "bipolar disorder" and my psychiatrist calls "schizophrenia" (i assume the specialist is right but then again who knows...) it is helping with my symptoms and has been helping for about a year now, the problem is the sleepiness if robbing me of my life. i am CONSTANTLY tired, it doesnt matter if i get even 13 hours of sleep, i am so darn sleepy, plus reports keep saying the medicine is dangerous. I recently cut my does in half to 150mgs daily, which has helped my worries but not my constant tiredness. Is there any natural remedies that anyone can recommend to help schizophrenia or bi-polar disorder? I heard Omega 2 EPA with anywhere from 2000-4000mgs per day helped, however i dont know where to get that kind of concentration without having to pop 7 pills a day. I also heard B vitamins, folic acid and zinc help...

-does anyone have ANY advice??
