Question 1

can a vitamin b complex cause yellowy tinged stools?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes..You may be taking too many....

Question 2

dear doctor, i'm having a thick white discharge from my v and it is itchy. i started taking omega 3 capsules with vitamin b complex. is this the cause?

Accepted Answer

Probably yeast: No, it is not likely the vitamin that is causing this. This sounds like a yeast infection. You can take over the counter miconazole cream, or see a doctor to get a prescription medication.

Question 3

can vitamin b complex cause acne? what about fish oil? i wanna take a supplement to make me gain weight but i don't want acne risk if ever? help?

Accepted Answer

Supplements and Acne: Hi, neither b complex or fish oil will cause acne. In fact, both of those can actually be beneficial to those suffering from certain types of acne. Having said that, neither of those will lead to weight gain either. Gaining good weight is a result of healthy eating of appropriate nutrients including proteins and "good" fats as well as an appropriate exercise regimen.

Question 4

can high doses of vitamin b complex cause frequent urination or minor leaking of urine? it has stopped since not taking it today. thanks

Accepted Answer

Overdose of Vit B: can caused increased urination but haven't heard of urinary incontinence. Vit B complex overdose Sx's: nausea/vomiting, loose stools, abdominal cramps, ^ thirst, ^ urination, blurred vision &amp; skin flushing.  REF:  https://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/vitamin-b-complex#symptoms-of-overdose

Question 5

can lactic bacillus with vitamin b  complex cause hard stool in pregnency?

Accepted Answer

Constipation: Usually not. On the other hand, if your b complex tablet has iron in it, the iron can cause constipation. Lactobacillus is a probiotic used to replenish normal good bacteria in the colon and is usually beneficial in regularizing bowel habits.

Question 6

vitamin b complex caused me to break out in acne, after taking it for a year, how long will it take for my skin to improve? i've stopped taking it.

Accepted Answer

There's no telling: Trying to figure out what's causing one to have acne is futile. Ignore all "pop" ideas and start using topical benzoyl peroxide 1-2x daily, perhaps 5%. It's not pleasant but it's your best friend. If it doesn't clear you, your physician can add prescription strength Rx. My acne remitted when I was 50; yours will too, someday. Until then, manage it like the serious medical problem that it is.

Question 7

can a 1ml dosage of vitamin b12 combined with 1ml vitamin b complex combined together in an injection cause nerve damage on the left lobe of a person's face.

regards 
molefe?

Accepted Answer

NO (unless...): B12 and B complex are often combined together and are extremely safe.  I've given this combo to many people and the only side effect I've seen is temporary pain at the injection site.Of course I always give in in the hip region or arm. 
The only way I could see this happening is if it was actually injected into the person's face and damaged a nerve, but it should always be given in a large muscle.

Question 8

i was told by my doctor to start taking vitamin b complex. i purchased some at the drug store and noticed the vitamin b12 in it has 15 mcg, is that to much vitamin b12? will it give me jitters and cause my heat to race?

Accepted Answer

: It is unlikely that you will ingest too much vitamin B12 because excess amounts leave the body through urine. If your urine is bright yellow, it is most likely that you are taking in more B vitamins than you really need.  Expensive urine, but not dangerous.

Question 9

can taking a vitamin b complex be unhealthy in any way?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin B complex: Too much of vitamin b complex can cause increased blood sugar, gout or skin conditions.

Question 10

is taking vitamin b complex everyday ok? even without particularly having a deficiency?

Accepted Answer

Need b vitamins?: There is no evidence to show that healthy people with a basically good diet need any added vitamins or other dietary supplements.   Overall, the supplement industry is a multi-billion dollar industry with no good evidence that it helps anyone significantly.  I would save the $$, eat well and exercise regularly.
