Hypervitaminosis is a condition characterized by an excessive amount or overdose of vitamins in the body. It often occurs when individuals consume high doses of vitamin supplements for an extended period of time, leading to toxic symptoms. The severity of these symptoms usually depends on the type and quantity of the vitamin consumed. Some vitamins are more likely to cause hypervitaminosis than others, particularly fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A and D.
