A member asked:
What are the side effects of too much b-12, should i be taking a supplement if i'm not deficient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: In rare cases, excess B12 supplementation may cause some numbness or tingling in the arm, hands and face. You shouldn't take the vitamin if you don't have a specific dietary deficiency.
