Question

select the correct answer. when can dietary supplements harm the body? when we take supplement in smaller amounts than our body requires when we take large doses of a particular nutrient in the supplement when the supplement has a nutrient that is not missing from our diet

Explanation:

Dietary supplements are meant to complement a diet, not replace it. Taking large doses of a particular nutrient can lead to toxicity. For example, excessive vitamin A can cause liver damage, and too much iron can be harmful to the digestive system. Taking smaller amounts than required just means the supplement isn't effective, and taking a nutrient that's not missing from the diet (as long as it's in normal doses) usually doesn't cause harm as the body can often regulate or excrete the excess (though in very large doses even non - missing nutrients can be harmful, but the key here is the "large doses" option which is a more direct and common cause of harm from supplements).

Answer:

when we take large doses of a particular nutrient in the supplement
