What Causes Anxiety And Difficulty In Sleeping After Taking Nature's Stress-buster Nutri-calm?

default
Posted on Tue, 17 Jan 2017
Question: Hello, I have been just started taking "Natures Sunshine Nutri-calm" supplement over the past week given to me by a client. I have had some difficulty with anxiety and sleep. I started taking 2 tablets before bed and had the best sleep in years. My concern though is I've heard that taking mega doses of vitamins can have damaging effects long term. This has high doses of Vitamin C, B1, B2, B6 and B12. What are your thoughts on that?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and noted your concern.
There is absolutely no problem as far as VIT C B1,B2,B6 and B12 are concerned because these are water soluble vitamins. It means that even if you ingest these vitamins in higher doses than required by your body,they will be excreted by your body.
Problem lies with fat soluble vitamins like VIT A and VIT E because they get stored in your body if ingested more than required.
Hence no problem with VIT B and C.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to e for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
