specifically include vitamin A, niacin (B-3), pyridoxine (B-6), other
B-complex, C, D, E, "other" vitamin(s), such as vitamin K, and
multiple vitamins without iron. Minerals, which are chemically and
nutritionally different from vitamins, have an excellent safety record as

poisoning from gross overdosing on supplemental iron. Deaths attributed to
other supplemental minerals are very rare. Even iron, although not as safe as
vitamins, accounts for fewer deaths than do laundry and dishwashing
detergents. References: 1. Annual Reports of the
