I keep seeing this on different threads.
Be careful with supplements containing fat-soluble compounds , of which Vitamin D is one. Vitamin D is a hormone. Careful!
Same goes for any metals.
Taking supplements occasionally shouldn't be harmful. A vitamin D supplement every once in a while should be ok, specially if you are locked up and not getting sufficient sunlight.
The key being "occasionally". However, if you routinely take them, please have a checkup done on the next opportunity you get. If you don't have any deficiencies, you shouldn't need supplementation.
Vitamin C should be fine. It is water-soluble, excess can be disposed of, if your kidneys are normal.

- mixmastamyk 6y agoIt sounds like to two of you (and downvoters) didn't read my post closely enough and/or not up on recent research: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32252338/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32252338/ https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200518/more-vitamin-d-lower-risk-of-severe-covid-19 https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200518/more-vitamin-d-lowe... Most folks are deficient, and it is difficult, though not impossible to overdo it. Also, if you are living at 35+ degrees latitude, dark skinned, or ~50+ years old, you are deficient. Your warnings to be careful are careful in the wrong direction, ie. dangerous.
