Vitamin b complex combined with b12?

can you take too much of this? I take holland and barrett viamin b complex and b12 combined in 1 tablet a day.
I think i heard that a side effect can be numbness / pins and needle effect in the arms / hands etc?

Answer:
Years ago they used to sell a much higher dosage pack. The one you can buy these days is something like a 5 times lower dose than was available 15 years ago.
So - if you follow the instructions it is highly unlikely that you will get any bad side effects.
One way to check how effective the tablets are is to check the colour of your wee - if you have a very high dose of vits B in your system your wee will come out a nearly orange colour and will smell strongly (of wee!) A stronger yellow is good as it shows enough vit B in the system to be working!
If you are taking only one B complex and a reg. vitamin you are no where close to dangerous. If you look at what is in the processed containers of food we are eating, we could probably use more. I know of a condition that requires more vit.s than this. So you are fine. Vit. D is about the only one know to be over dosed on. And vit. D we can get right from the sun.
