That has some fat-soluble vitamins at a 100% mark, which means you could overload on them through your regular diet very easily. Not sure that's such a good idea. The B6 is also pretty high. That's water-soluble so it can be pissed out, but still people using any other supplements or drinking fortified shakes might want to be cautious. You can get peripheral neuropathy(numbness usually in fingers) from too much B6.

RDA for almost every vitamin is ridiculously low, its basically a level of what a person would need to stave off disease. i wouldnt worry about overdosing on vitamins from eating a few powerbars a week, thats borderline ridiculous

You've got to do a lot better than that. Whether a vitamin is fat-soluble or not matters. I myself have gotten peripheral neuropathy from too much B-6, and I didn't take all that much. This is not the kind of thing that should be brushed off. That's easier to do with water-soluble vitamins. The obvious exception to the rule, B-6, I fairly pointed out.
