      Probably not very much! You need to overdose significantly (10,000%) over a period of time to harm your health. But the results could include intestinal problems, kidney stones, heart problems, so as with all medicines etc. “Always read the label, and if in doubt consult your GP or pharmacist” – don’t listen to me!

      I agree with Iain, probably not very much – don’t overdo it, though 🙂
