I'm telling you, you're simplifying something inappropriately.

If you down soda all day and can’t get out of the couch, it’s not vitamin problems you should worry about.

Lack of movement or energy is a classic vitamin deficiency sign, particularly anemia / iron / b12 /b vitamins / copper / iodine. If you cant get off the couch, you definitely need to try vitamins, and likely have an imbalance of vitamins you intake vs what you need.

Iron deficiency, or when the body’s iron stores are too low, is common, and may affect up to 40% of adolescents and young women According to a previous report, up to 70% of cases go undiagnosed in high-risk populations

You can only really intake too much of fat soluble retinol-based vitamin A, about 10k IU daily, which can cause not only liver damage but skin to slough off at higher levels (1mil IU).

Vitamin K has never been found to have an upper limit, and vitamin E has a classic upper dosage of 1000IU but some dosages are as high as 4000IU per day. Likewise vitamin D has postulated upper limits but some get injections of 300k IU. Vitamin D can cause odd issues with calcium, and ofc calcium levels being off can cause odd issues with potassium and magnesium levels and so on. Supplementing therefore should be done thoughtfully and with the patient's health as a whole in mind.

You can't continuously get blood checks on all of your levels.

It's OK to supplement if you want. Just watch out for retinol and B6. And don't take stuff like Ashwaganda etc, take actual vitamins and minerals first
