A member asked:
Is it possible to take excessive vitamin b12?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: This is a water soluble vitamin and the body will lose excess by urination. However moderation is an important rule of thumb and there is no reason to take more than 1, 000 units a day even in documented deficiency.

Won't make you sick: You will simply pee out whatever you can't use. Vitamin B6 in very large doses can make you sick
