Does taking multivitamins without a meal create a diuretic effect?
This morning I took my usual does of multivitamins without having actually eaten a full meal, it's suggested that you always take your vitamins after a full meal, as I have always done. About 1-2 hours later I had this minor sort of diuretic effect where I went to the bathroom a couple of times to urinate just little bits of water. My urine was clear as it has usually been since I drink plenty of water during the day.
But the weather has been very odd today too! Lately it's been very hot and dry, hello it's summer, and this morning was surprisingly cool with high humidity. Could the change in weather be affecting me somehow?
The multi-vitamins include Vitamins C, D, E, B6, B12, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folic Acid, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Calcium, Iron, Phosphorus, Iodine, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Molybdenum, Inositol, PABA, Panax Ginseng. Do any of you know if any of these vitamins create a mild diuretic effect, or is it just a change in weather?
Do my prenatal pills have TOXIC ingredients?
I bought my prenatal pills at Whole Foods.
I noticed that they put 1000mcg of Folic Acid.
Then, I noticed a lot of other ingredients that don't look like they should be in a prenatal pill such as;
Selenium
Copper
CHROMIUM
PABA
Inositol
Rutin
Silica Dioxide
L-Taurine
the list goes on and on....
Are any of these ingredients harmful? I wouldn't think they would be sold if so, but you never know.
My prenatal vitamin is Super Nutrition Simply One Prenatal

Can I also take an extra Inositol pill that is 250 mg with it?
Currently I am working towards preventing and thus stopping panic and anxiety attacks. So I am taking 1 table spoon liquid magnesium in the morning + 1 B compound, and also do that again at night (started this yesterday)....but just wanting to take an extra inositol pill too...
wondering if taking 250mg of inositol with an additional 55mg of inositol in the B compound pill is "too much"...?
cheers

Could the ingredients in this be the cause of my improved mood?
Hey,
Iv been taking this vitamin supplement for 3 weeks now and recently have noticed an improved mood. I was taking a multi vitamin and b-complx before. Could the ingredents in this have improved my mood as I know there are amino acids and herbs in this that can do this i think? the ingredients are at the end of this question.
On the other hand I have hypothyroidism and have been increasing my medication recently too, so maybe the improved mood is from this?
Also, My vitamin D was a bit low in a test and I have also been taking 2000IU vitamin D3 for the past 3 weeks.
For the past few years I have felt quite depressed and unsociable because of this but recently have felt much more sociable and out going, but really don't know if it's the correcting of hypothyroidism or the supplement doing this. Which out of these three is more likely causing the better mood?

Taking some new hair growth vitamins and I have a few questions?
I'm 17, and I'm going to be taking these vitamins called MAXI-HAIR by Country Life. I wanted to know if there are any problems taking certain vitamins or minerals with levels as high as 2,000 % +, as shown in the supplement facts below. Also, they come in the form of tablets and the bottle says they are "time released" however the size is about 2x bigger than I'm used to. Is it safe to cut the tablets in to 2 or 3 small pieces and then take them?

Also, I know you can get poisoning from too much iron through pills, can you get poisoning from too much of anything else through pills?
