MegaNaraku Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I just looked at the super b complex vitamins I take, and I'm taking on a daily basis, 6667% of B1. Not to mention, B6 is at 5000%, and B12 at 1667%. That a normal percentage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaNaraku Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 I've read most of the time, taking too much b vitamins was fine, and their wasn't a "cap" or "overdose" that has been established for them. Should I only be taking the amount found in, lets say, those One a Day tablets? I only take these because it gives me a nice mood boost and energy for work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsar4 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Yes. But oddly enough, it's just the right amount for Theremin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename: Jackass Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 B vitamins are water soluble, you'll piss most of that out. Probably still not good to have that much every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I understand. Tbh though, I always feel very down with no motivation, energy, or happiness a lot of the time. So I turn to stimulants and such to help me. Nothing like hard drugs. Just stuff to help me through the day. So I look to b vitamins or different kinds of chemicals or plants. Etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I suppose so. It seems like a high amount. I see stuff like Nature Made Super B Energy Complex and it has everything at 100%. I'm curious if that would work just as well, without me having to take 4000 and up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mix Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 hmm, these are good questions...I gotta look into what i'm taking as well, never thought about it before....

SlappyKincaid Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 poof's right about the megadosing, for one there's only so much your body is going to be able to absorb and utilize at any given time, two, it is potentially taxing on your kidneys and liver, water soluble or not. best case scenario, you're literally pissing away a lot of it, so its wasteful. Worst case you're doing more harm to yourself than good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting groceries tomorrow, so I'm going to just start buying those One a Day men vitamins with a energy b complex vitamin thats only at a recommended dosage. I would think that would be a better alternative. I just hope I keep the energy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillies Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Get a basic Multi-V with nothing fancy and no herbal remedies in it either. Take it with food in the morning. Don't spend money on an expensive brand and don't get a cheap brand either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandstone Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 A lot of those vitamin supplements are not absorbed in totality, they are excreted in urine/feces/sweat. Basically, they are many times less efficient than receiving vitamin intakes through food. Many are also aimed at people with serious deficiencies so in essence need to play catchup. I take a b vitamin supplement but I don't take it daily. When in doubt ask your doctor or pharmacist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
