I have often seen people rush to vitamin shops to buy Vitamin C pills,
or other specific vitamins, and they still continue to ingest a multi
vitamin. My question is, is it possible to take in too much of a
specific vitamin, and if so can there be any adverse effects or does
the body just flush them out? Any information would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks

Vitamin A and B6 are critical.

This is a good site about vitamins:

There are a few vitamins which produce health problems with
overdose - the oil-soluble ones that are stored in their
oil-soluble form in our bodies. I'm not aware of any water-soluble
vitamin that causes health problems in excess. A & D are the
most documented problem vitamins in overdose. Look for TUL's
Tolerable Upper Limits in non-commercial listings of vitamins.
For the most part, excesses of the others simply end up in the
sewer system!

Vitamin D as well.
(This is just the vitamins however, minerals can also be overdosed).

That is quite theoretical. I recall that Reinhold Vieth, one of the leading
vitamin D researchers, has said that only to achieve physiological levels of
circulating vitamin D - 25(OH)D - produced by sunlight, we have to take 100
?g vitamin D. And that is far from being toxic. Personally I take 25 ?gs
daily in winter time.

Vitamin D deficiency is fairly common.
