All vitamins have a UL

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

In this true/false item, we need to evaluate whether every vitamin has a Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL).
Option  True would claim that a UL exists for all vitamins. This is not accurate because ULs are established only for vitamins where there is adequate data showing potential for harm at high intakes. Some vitamins have well-defined ULs (for example vitamins D, A, niacin, and others), but others either have insufficient data or lack a clearly defined UL, so no UL is published for those vitamins.
Option  False would mean that not every vitamin has a UL. This aligns with current practice: several micronutrients either do not have an UL or have been deemed not applicable due to lack of evidence of harm at high intake, especially some water-soluble vitamins like biotin or certain forms where data are limited; also a number of fat-soluble vitamins do have ULs but not all vitamins in use have one.
Additionally, the UL concept is a regulatory/educational tool used in nutrition guidelines; it is contingent on research data, toxicology, and risk assessment, which is not equally available for all vitamins. Therefore the blanket statement that all vitamins have a UL is inaccurate.
