> Can you take too much? Does your body get rid of the excess B Vitamins. Reason I ask is that the multi-vitamin I take is WAY above the RDA in B Vitamins. THanks
Tealady is right about needing to maintain the proper balance between the B vitamins. Too much of one can cause a depletion of another...
I do know that you can get too much of vitamin B6 (causes nerve damage at very high doses, I believe). I don't know about the others.
As much as supplements have improved my health, I have still found it is wise to be well informed and careful about taking any supplement.
Best of luck.
