Allergic reactions to vitamins occur usually when you take them artificially. It doesn't happen if you take food rich in vitamin c like citrus fruits, green peppers, all sorts of berries, tomatoes, broccoli, winter squash, sweet potatoes and white potatoes.
Allergic reactions occur when the body produces IgE against the excessive vitamin supplements. Vitamin supplements are not required if you're taking a balanced diet
