Question 1

would it be okay to take vitamin b complex at night?

Accepted Answer

Yes: While taken often for "energy and metabolism" B12 takes a long time to be absorbed.  I don't recommend any particular time for taking b vitamins.

Question 2

can a 16 year old take vitamin b complex?

Accepted Answer

Of course!: Vitamins are essential nutrients that our bodies need to turn calories into energy. Given the poor nutrient status of our food supply (think what a teenager eats), there is no one that i can think of that cannot benefit from some extra vitamins. More processed foods = increased need for vitamins.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: I  am  not aware of any side effect  for vitamine b complex.

Question 4

A supplement: Containing the group of b vitamins, so yes. However the problem with b 12 is usually with absorption so a pill may not be the answer for established deficiency.

Question 5

Question 6

why do i get headaches after taking vitamin b complex?

Unusual, but: Some folks do get either dull or full blown migraines after ingestion of high dose vitamin b meds.  You may do better by taking lower dose twice daily, but might confer with your doctor about headaches if they are a problem associated with other situations.

Question 7

what is the difference between vitamin b complex and b12?

Yeast: Yeast mostly contains thiamine ( b1) , along with other b vitamins.

Question 8

can you take a multi vitamin and a regular vitamin such as vitamin b complex  or c?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A multivitamin will seldom supply optimal levels of vitamin c, so i often advise that people take additional vitamin c. Some people will benefit from higher intake of b complex than many multivitamins provide and there is no danger in taking an additional b complex. There is no harm in taking lots of b's except limit b6 to 250 day. Excessive Folic Acid may be harmful- see my comment.

Question 9

please advise if it's ok to take vitamin b complex plus iron in a young adult like me?

Accepted Answer

Check levels: In two years you will be 40. Most people require a suppliment of d3 after age 40. B12 is often a problem but is replaced with a shot or a sub lingual form of the vitamin. Iron needs to be monitored with a blood tests. In short you can overdose on iron, vit b6, vit a, vit k, vit d, and vit e. Too much Niacin can cause liver problems. Ask your doctor's advice and to test your vit d and b12.

Question 10

is it ok to take vitamin b complex capsules regularly for a long time? should i take the zinc ones or the non zinc ones?

Accepted Answer

Vitamins: There is seldom any need to take vitamin supplements in the USA with a balanced diet, but if you do take them follow the directions and do not take more than one each day and it will not hurt you. Zinc is the same. You can choose to do this or not. Very few people are zinc deficient. Good luck and stay healthy.
