I’m trying to make sure I get enough of these without getting too much, but I can’t find info, even with Google (I just get ad sites for personalized vitamin mixtures or levels for kids) on what the "Too Much" levels are and what the symptoms of toxicity are. I’ve been tracking all this in my food journal so I know how much I’m getting, I just don’t know if it’s an ok amount or WAY too much. I’m a 31 year old red-headed female, so the calcium & iron are big ones for me. I’d love to have links if possible.

only NON water soluble vitamins and metals have toxic levels…
technically you don’t take Vitamin A, you normally take Beta Carotene. If you’re sure your vitamin is really Vit A, then I suggest you switch to a better quality vitamin.
Iron does have a toxic level, but it’s very hard to hit especially for women as their period reduces their iron levels.
