Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An excess of vitamin D can result in hardening of blood vessels due to excess blood calcium. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium from the diet and too much of it can lead to the buildup of calcium in the blood vessels, which can cause them to become stiff and less flexible. Excess vitamin A can also lead to similar vascular problems, but it is not listed as a choice. Vitamin B6, B12, and C do not have this effect on blood vessels.
