I figured I should share my dad's words of wisdom when it comes to supplements:

You body is very good at getting rid of excess nutrients it doesn't need, and it gets quite used to doing this if the excess nutrients are consumed over and over. This is one problem with the current supplement bandwagon: When people stop taking supplements they've been taking for a while their body keeps getting rid of (what now used to be excess nutrients). They then become malnourished, or at least need more of the specific vitamins they used to have an excess of.

Just a word of warning. Be careful of what you put into you body, even a lot of a good thing over time is bad.
