Accidentally double dosed on vitamins for 6 weeks

Hi all, I have been taking Vitabiotics Wellwoman plus Omega 3.6.9 capsules for the last 6 weeks. You are supposed to take ONE multivitamin tablet (purple packet) and one omega3 tablet (blue packet) daily.

I have just realised I have been double dosing on the multivitamin for the last 6 weeks. For some reason I thought I was supposed to take TWO from the purple pack each day 😱

1.) Firstly wondering what the effects of this could be after 6 weeks?

2.) I had a traumatic MMC in Sept and had hoped to TTC in January. Now I’m paranoid that my system isn’t balanced and risk another miscarriage.

3.) Is this why I can’t lose any ruddy weight?!

Advice and reassurance welcomed x

Depends what is in that tablet but if they are water solvable vitamins, rather than fat soluble, you will be fine.
Why would taking extra vitamins mean it’s hard to lose weight though?

Sorry for your loss Flowers

Water-soluble vitamins are those that are dissolved in water and readily absorbed into tissues for immediate use. Any excess excess is quickly passed in urine. Because they are not stored in the body, water-soluble vitamins need to be replenished regularly through your diet

Thank you 💔💐

The weight comment was slightly in jest - but since September I’ve had an inexplicable rubber ring of fat around my middle that just won’t shift!
