Too Many Vitamins?

Question
Hello. I have panic disorder, so I am always nervous about trying something new; in this case, liquid Geritol. I am a 50-year-old woman, skinny (90 pounds), 4'10", smoker, otherwise in good health. I currently drink an "ENSURE" nutrition shake daily for vitamins (I don't eat much). My boyfriend got me this liquid "GERITOL" to try, to help me get more vitamins. I have contacted both Ensure and Geritol asking if these 2 products together were perhaps too MANY vitamins for me, or perhaps they would somehow interact with each other (it's the PD in me making me think these things). I do not have a family doctor I can ask (he passed away), so I thought I'd ask on here. What do YOU think? Do you think it is ok to drink an Ensure daily AND take a dose of the liquid Geritol vitamins? All vitamins in Ensure are UNDER 100% DV, and most of Geritol's vitamins are OVER 100%. Thank you for any advice or input you could give me.

Answer
yes you should be 100% fine ensure itself isn't meant to be the lone food or lone source of vitamins. As well the RDA of vitamins is not even the optimal amount let alone anywhere near the point of being bad for you. Its is just over the minimal amount we need to live. The only ones you would have to worry about are fat soluble as you would simply urinate out the water soluble excess vitamins.

I would go for it and not worry and also would try and get more real whole foods in.
