Do Vitamin Supplements Cause Kidney Disease?
My doctor said I have stage kidney disease. I have been studying on line and discover that I may be taking too many or the wrong vitamins. I am 75 yrs old and take a multi vit for seniors along with additional vitamins E, D3, C, fish oil, iron,biotin. Should I stop the vitamins?

Hi,
There are certain vitamin supplements which should not be consumed without measuring the blood levels,And out of the listed vitamins,D3 can be a culprit for stones if levels are in excess.
Hence my advice to you will be to undergo blood level evaluation first and take it only if required
