water soluble vitamins

[lunarfairy]

I really love using the nutritional software and aim to get as close to perfection (4.0) as often as I can. It really irks me that sometimes I get less than an A in some of water soluble vitamins (like niacin) because I've gone over my daily allowance. These vitamins in excess are harmlessly excreted from the body. Is there any reason why I must stay within range of these vitamins in order to acheive an A?

Most people are not aware that the "vitamin and nutrition daily requirements" depend on age, sex and other factors. When you read a food label and it lists the recommended daily requirement this is not really the case as it is only an average. Our software gives you the exact figure for your age and sex, not a weighted average.

I understand that the nutrional software calculates needs based of numerous factors. My question is - is it harmful to exceed the recommended amount of a water soluble (not fat soluble) vitamin?
