Across Britain, three-quarters of adults now reach daily for vitamin supplements, many guided more by optimism than by need — a phenomenon pharmacists have begun calling 'vitamin-maxxing.' Wendy Lee, a Gloucestershire pharmacist, offers a quiet but urgent corrective: the body is not a vessel that benefits from endless filling, and fat-soluble vitamins in particular accumulate in tissues until they become a source of harm rather than health. The ancient instinct to do more, to protect oneself more thoroughly, has here outpaced the wisdom that knows when enough is enough.

Consumers face health risks from excessive supplementation but may increase spending on supplements; potential future healthcare costs from toxicity-related conditions; increased demand for pharmacist consultations and medical interventions.
