Posted by: slaytonp at Sat Jul 26 21:37:53 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by slaytonp ] I think the vitamin you have to worry about over-dosing is the fat-soluble vitamin A. Unlike most others, overdoses are stored in the liver and fat cells instead of being passed off and can cause liver damage. If it is in the form of carotenes, it does not do this, as there is a feed-back mechanism in the gut that changes carotenes to vitamin A only when it is needed. Human vitamins may have too much straight vitamin A for amphibians. I'm judging this on what occurs in mammals and don't know if the mechanism is the same in amphibians. | ||
