I felt one will fulfil the overall minreals and vitamin need, other will fulfill the omega fatty acid need, and third will fulfill the protein need, as i eat less protein as i am a vegetarian. But i hope together they should not cause problems, and thats why i wrote to you to get the right answer.
Looking forward for your reply. XXXXXXX XXXXXXX

Have a good day. XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
Excess intake creates overload on liver..
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
Welcome again,
Normally our body has intrinsic metabolic pathways to synthesise nutrients, proteins,amino acids.
So it is sufficient to take these supplements for 3-6 months in a year to decrease the overall burden of our body 's mechanisms.
Excess intake may lead to side effects like liver damage due to overload in digesting them.
So take for 3-6 months in a year.
You can take threptin buiscuits as you like,its not an issue.
