Sensory neuropathy was observed in individuals consuming more than 200 mg Pyridoxine for very long periods. No case of Folic acid overdodage has been reported.

Acute ingestion of Ascorbic acid, even of massive doses, is unlikely to cause significant effects.

Zinc toxicity has been seen in both acute and chronic forms.
