Accepted Answer

Question 8

how long does it take your body to absorb b complex vitamins?

Accepted Answer

Only minutes: In most cases b complex will be absorbed quite quickly. One way of verifying this is to see how long it takes between taking a potent b complex and how long it takes to see your urine turn  dark yellow & smell like vitamins (caused by b1 & b2). For them to appear in your urine they must be absorbed into your bloodstream and then be filtered by your kidneys, but this can happen within an hour.

Question 9

is it wise to take prenatal vitamins and a b vitamin complex together?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: There is no harm in taking them together; however, b vitamins are commonly nauseating.  Therefore, taking them together may increase the risk of nausea.  I would suggest taking them at different times to prevent nausea and to minimize a large peak of b vitamins.   Several smaller doses make the vitamin available throughout the day.
