Question 1

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 2

what's it like taking vitamin b complex for treating anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Not the best option: For those who have a b vitamin deficiency, taking supplements may be helpful to some degree. Those who don't may notice more energy which can sometimes worsen anxiety. Exercise, eating a healthy diet (less sugar and caffeine) and cognitive behavioral therapy are other ways to manage anxiety.

Question 3

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.

Question 4

why do i get headaches after taking vitamin b complex?

Accepted Answer

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 5

is 1000iu the daily dosage i should be taking (vitamin d3) i'm currently also taking vitamin b complex & panax ginseng. i'm 23.

Accepted Answer

It depends...: This depends on how much vit d you get from the sun. In spring & summer about 10 minutes of exposure to midday sun allows us to make enough d if you don't use sunscreen. In fall & winter months most adults need 5-8000 iu/day to achieve optimal levels of vit d. Testing your d levels can help you determine your needs. See http://bit.Ly/1dc7vna for details.

Question 7

is my urine supposed to be bright yellow after taking vitamin b complex?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Urine normally is yellow/amber, turns dark yellow while we take vitamins but it all depends due to combination of other foods ingested along with water which dilutes the urine.

Question 8

is taking a vitamin b complex tablet daily could be of any damage to liver or any other organ?
n.b: i lift heavy weights.

Accepted Answer

NO: B vitamins by definition are nutrients essential to good health and at least 75% of Americans do not get adequate B vitamins from their diet. The only possible damage known to occur from B vitamins is neuropathy from taking 500 mg/day or more of B6 for many months, though I advise not taking more than 200 mg/day to be cautious. This damage is reversible on stopping it. No B complex has that much.

Question 9

i am taking a vitamin b complex supplement daily, can i take a daily multi vitamin in addition to that and if so what would you recommend i take?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin B: The b vitamins, b1, b2 and b6 are all water soluble and, therefore, are not stored in the body. If you take more than the daily requirement of each of these, you will urinate them out. If you eat a balanced diet, you probably do not need to take vitamins. If you do not, take a generic multi-vitamin pill take has all the b vitamins as well as vitamin c.

Question 10

can taking more vitamin b-complex still help heal nerve damage even if you're not low on b vitamins?

Accepted Answer

See below: It can't hurt to try as it is water soluble and what your body doesn't need will pass out in your urine.
