Question 1

i take b - complex vitamin with my daily men's vitamin.  i take it to boost my energy.    can to much b, hurt?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Even though B vitamins are water soluble and not stored in our fat like the fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), too much of certain Bs, like B6 and B3 (niacin,) can get you in trouble. Going above 200 mg a day of B6 has the potential to cause numbness and other nerve problems. High doses of Niacin (2000 mg a day) can lead to elevated liver enzymes, jaundice and nausea.

Question 2

hello,
i'm diabetic and i take centrum men multivitamin once daily .
can i take ( b complex+ b 12 ) caps with centrum every day ?
i just want to protect my nervous system because as i said i have diabetes.
please help me to know the right way.?

Accepted Answer

No: Centrum contains vitamins and minerals in large amounts. There is no need to take additional vitamin B complex. Excess vitamin B will not be absorbed and will be eliminated naturally in the urine. The best source of vitamins and minerals are natural foods---fruits, vegetables, grains.

Question 3

its it okay for me to take b-complex 100 from thevitamin shoppe company and one a day men multivitamin altogether? am i overdosing on vitamin b?

Accepted Answer

It's OK: You can't overdose on real B vitamins. But be careful with synthetic forms. The easiest way to tell is to look at the ingredient list of your supplements. Stay away from the ones that have folic acid or cyanocobalamin.  Look for the ones that have folinic acid and methylcobalamin.

Question 4

what are the best supplements for thinning hair and hair health in general? fish oil? b complex..? how is zinc? how good is zinc for mens health?

Accepted Answer

First: rule out: disease: thyroid, scalp infection, formal vitamin defiviency testing, stress, tension, anxiety or hormonal issues. Is therea  pattern of male baldness in your family? Get a medical evaluation.

Question 5

i want to know about the benefits of injecting b complex.

Accepted Answer

Nothing over oral: unless you have some type of severe B12 deficiency or pernicious anemia.

Question 6

can i take central market brand b complex while pregnant? and what are the benefits?

Accepted Answer

Sure: Usually people just take a prenatal vitamin. Some think b vitamins help with early pregnancy nausea. Other than that there is probably no benefit.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Dose vitamin D: Vitamin d comes from exposure to sun made in skin less exposure due to fears of skin cancer leave a deficient state in 60 to 80 percentgeneral requirements in healthy non pregnant state vary between 10000 to 2000 units a say best taken with food down side is very little lots of people require to go upto 5000 units helps skeletal health muscle mass skin nails hair and decreses some cancers.

Question 8

does vitamin b complex provide enough b12 ? for energy and other benefits?

Accepted Answer

: A healthy well rounded diet provides all the vitamins and supplements that your body needs. B Complex OTC provides 100% or more of daily requirement if your diet is less than optimal.  So does a daily multi vitamin. Before starting any alteration in your intake, consult with your GP. If you don't have one, find one.

Question 9

is it safe for a 24 year old man like me to take vitamin supplements such as neurogen e, a tablet of b complex vitamins + vitamin e for nerve health?

Accepted Answer

Yes, however...: Yes, these are safe, though I notice Neurogen E has the cyanocobalamin form of B12 and methylcobalamin is better. Look for a B complex that has the L-5-MTHF form of folate instead of folic acid,as about half of people have difficulty converting folic acid to its active form. E is best as a natural form with mixed tocopherols (not just alpha tocopherol).Consider Ashwagandha, a herb good for nerves.

Question 10

are jamieson b complex 100 mg too much?

Accepted Answer

For what condition?: Jamieson's b complex 100 mg is a timed-release product. B vitamins are also water-soluble, so that any excess your body does not need will be excreted.  Taking vitamin b6 (pyridoxine) at 1-6 grams (not milligrams as in this preparation) per day over many months can cause a sensory neuropathy.  For most people, the 50mg b complex would be enough -- if you have poor diet & stress, maybe need more.
