Hi all,

I have purchased some vitamen B from a reputable online healthshop.

the ones that i take at the moment are 2mg which i believe is 100% of the RDA. The ones from online are 50mg which is the highest strength they do. I guess i'm just a bit worried that it's a bit too much?

Can you over do it on vitamen b?

Also has anyone tried magnesium?

I was actually taking 100mg Vit B complex every day and I now cut it in half every day and so take 50mg every day. I think Meg says that after taking it for a month you can reduce to taking it every other day.

I also take Magnesium - its hard to pin point exactly what is helping me but I'm certainly feeling better than I was. I'm also taking Fish Oils, Evening Primrose Oil, Zinc & Vitamin C!

Hopefully Meg will be along soon to confirm the Vit B for you.

Take care

Its the Niacin.

Desperate - next time get some B complex instead of just B6.

Sorry to be a pain but does the time release matter at all?

Timed released are meant to be better as its a gentle release of active compound but I have never seen enough evidence to recommend them for vitamins - medicines is different

I have 360 tablets of the niacin to get through first, doh!!

Oh well....

Is there really that much difference? Or should I really order some complex rather than taking these others for a year? Damn I was trying to save money by bulk buying!

I guess the time release thing is coz it is quite a high dose and might sustain your energy better over the day?
