This is why I occasionally take vitamins, but not everyday. It's easy to over do it and cause more harm than good.

The frequency has much less to do with it than the absolute amount, at least for fat soluble vitamins like vitamin D. Taking 2000IU on 3 separate days isn't much different from taking 6000IU at 1 day.
