Vitamins For Healthy Skin?

I read an article on WebMD about vitamins for healthy skin. It says that a good concoction would be Vitamin C (1000 to 3000mg), Vitamin E (400 int’l micrograms), plus Selenium (100 to 200 micrograms).
I want to try this to get my skin looking and feeling healthier, but my question is, can I take those vitamin supplements if I already take a multi-vitamin that contains Vitamin C & E? I don’t want to OD on vitamins (if that’s even possible).

You can take extra vitamin C. It’s a water soluable vitamin and will be flushed out of the body when using the restroom. Vitamin E is a fat soluable vitamin, which is stored in the fat cells of your body. You can take Vitamin E every day, but you don’t necessarily need to. The possibility of ODing on extra vitamins is not very likely. Now the selenium, you should probably stick with what is already included in the multivitamin you take, as you can develop selenium toxicity by taking more than 400 mcg per day…

Its always possible to OD on vitamins, but C, E and Selenium are so abundant in the foods we eat that you’d have to really take a LOT to worry about side effects.
Its perfectly fine to take an additional dosage of each of those along with a regular multi-vitamin.

Top 10 Weight Loss Foods

Anytime the topic of discussion in my blogs, articles or newsletters has turned to my own personal grocery shopping list, there has always been a spike in interest.

Negative Calorie Foods

The phrase, "negative calorie food", as highlighted in negative calorie diet programs and books, usually refers to foods that allegedly require more energy to digest than they contain. Since the process of digestion requires the use of calories for energy, sometimes the net amount of metabolizable energy available from a food is less than the gross number of calories contained in the food.
