I saw my friend take 3 different vitamins in one day all at once. I know one was biotin, the other was a multivitamin and I'm not sure what the other one was. But I'm just curious if its even healthy to take all of those at once?

yes you can overdose on vitamins especially vitamins A,D,E, and ,K. But she should be fine if it was biotin and a multivitamin. just check the labels to make sure you aren't getting too much of any one vitamin

You can overdose on fat soluble vitamins, but not water soluble ones. Even so, there's a government issued daily recommendation that I'm pretty sure hasn't actually been revised since 1968 and then there's is the upper tolerable limit which is totally different and usually way, way higher than the recommendation. I take a multivitamin that contains biotin (just because I don't want to end up swallowing 60 pills) and higher levels of most vitamins, plus a fish oil supplement that has some extra A, C, D, and E in it aaaaaaand...a probiotic about every other day. Plus there is the vitamin intake you get from food. Research suggests that vitamin supplements aren't even absorbed fully...I take them because I smoke and don't eat vegetables (or, well, certain families of plants that most people think of when they say "veggies"). I actually NEED them to supplement my diet. Most people? Probably not, but it's not going to hurt you either, even if you take higher doses.
