Default Am I taking too many vitamins & minerals

These are all the supplements and dosages I'm taking:



Vitamin C - 4000mg, cutting down to 3000mg nxt wk then 2000mg indefinitely.

Vitamin B Compound Strong - One in morning & one at night

Thiamine - 100mg morning and 100mg at night

Vitamin B Complex 100 - One a day

Zinc - 50mg (2 x 25mg)

Copper - 2mg

Magnesium - 500mg (2 x 250mg)

L-arginine - 1000mg (2 x 500mg)

Fish Oil - 3000mg (3 x 1000mg)

Vitamin E - 800iu (4 x 200iu)

Starflower (Borage) Oil - 1000mg

Selenium - 200ug

Vitamin D - 5000iu

Am I taking too much? Should I cut some out or reduce dosage on some?

I don't want to develop some kind of imbalance but I want testosterone at the top end of range.

Someone help me out please.

That seems good to me. However, I think you should cut back on zinc. It is OK to take 50mg while sick or if you feel you are starting to get sick, but best not take 50mg for more than a week. 25mg is sufficient to maintain health.

Are you getting iodine somewhere? Diet?

For testosterone balance, you might consider saw palmetto berry extracts daily. It also helps to keep DHT from forming.
