Accepted Answer

Although you are taking a large number of supplements, they are all of different types.

You are not duplicating anything, and all these supplements are very much within their toxic levels.

So you are not really overdoing it in the sense that you are not putting yourself in danger with these supplements.

Of course, you are probably aware that the efficacy of these supplements have not been proved beyond doubt scientifically and are based mainly on theory. However, you are certainly not putting yourself in danger.
