There are no vitamin B-complexes which shows 100% for each vitamins. All are hundreds or even thousands of percent. I personally take B-complex every day. These vitamins are water soluble and there is no danger.
I was diagnosed in 1999 with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. Again in 2012. I was also diagnosed with diabetes Type 2 in 2012 and had a heart attack in 2019. For neuropathic pain relief I was started on Gabapentin and Cymbalta. Because of horrid cognitive side effects, Cymbalta was switched out for Effexor. Unfortunately, these cognitive side effects didn't stop, so I stopped using them. I've been taking the following for the above diabetes and LDL: Ezetimib/Rosuvstatin-Mepha 10 mg/10 mg - 1-0-0-0 (Mo,Mi,Fr,So) Forxiga 5mg - 1-0-0-1 Metfin 1000 mg - ½-½-0-1 Aspirin Cardio 100 mg - 1-0-0-0 Since about 2014 I've been taking instead of the Cymbalta/Effexor & Gabapentin: R-Lipoic Acid 300 (240) mg - 1-1-1-1 Acetyl-L-Carnitine 750 mg - 1-1-1-1 N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) 1000 mg - 1-1-1-1 Omega 3 (fish oil) 1000 mg - 1-1-1-1 Borage Oil 1000 mg (GLA = Gamma Linolenic Acid) - 1-1-1-0 Magnesium 100 mg - 1-0-0-0 The above hav helped some. I came to use these through exclusionary process. IOW, I'd take a substance for a while, noting sensations. Then I'd stop and see what happens. These “passed this exclusionary process. I added Benfotiamine 15.08.2023. Helped greatly, most overt pain gone, but numbness still prevalent (time if writing 05.09.2023). Some stomach ache if dosage is over 150mg, so I take 100mg 1-1-0-0 / 150mg 0-0-1-0 and 250mg before going to bed (0-0-0-1). I then added on September 5, 2023: Folic acid 1.7 mg 1-1-1-0 Biotin 5 mg 1-0-0-0 Methylcobalamin 1500 mcg 1-1-0-0 Vitamine B6 P5P 40mg 1-0-0-0 The 4 above plus Benfotiamine R-Lipoic acid, according to this study, which has been cited many times in meta studies concerning use of supplements to treat neuropathy pain: Maladkar, M., Tekchandani, C. and Dave, U.

After 12 weeks of treatment, the mean pain score declined by 78.0%, numbness by 92.1% and muscle weakness by 96.9%. Also, there was 96.0% & 99.2% reduction in tingling & burning sensation respectively. No serious adverse events were reported. Conclusion: The current study confirms that fixed dose combination of Methylcobalamin, ALA, folic acid, biotin, Benfotiamine & vitamin B6 is effective & well tolerated in the management of peripheral neuropathy.” “This PMS included 497 patients with peripheral neuropathy and was conducted at 5 different centers by qualified investigators.

Why would the required amount for the vitamins decrease since our food supply has less and less nutrients? Doesn’t anyone question the logic on this notion?

Hi, some of the B-complex has like 140 tablets or something like that, that would be between 4 and months if I take one daily. After that, do I need to wait some months before taking again B-complex? What is the best way to take these dietary supplements? 😅
That really depends on why you are taking the B-complex. For example, if it is to make up for a deficit in vitamins you are able to get or absorb from your diet, then discontinuing would not seem to make sense.

Actually, it can be taken twice daily (early and late), if necessary, as explained in our B Vitamin Supplements Review. This provides sufficient time for your body to create the factor needed for absorption.

Vegans don't need more B12 than others, but they need to be sure they are getting enough, since the richest source of B12 is meat. B12 from a B supplement or multivitamin should definitely be considered, although it may also be found in B12-fortified cereals.
If you are deficient, that's fine for a while, but, as shown in clinical studies, it's is not necessary and there are some potential risks. About 99% of that will not be absorbed, as explained in our B Vitamin Review.
You would be getting too much folic acid (vitamin B9). That product already provides 100% or more of the the Daily Value for each B vitamin, so why do you feel the need to get more? If you have been diagnosed with a specific B vitamin deficiency, it would seem best to focus on that particular vitamin and specifically address it rather than taking high amounts of every B vitamin.

Can I take 3 nature made super b complex 3 time a day age 25
