Holland & Barrett Vitamin B1 Tablets 100mg Reviews - page 2Vitamin B complex supplements are a combination of all the B vitamins. These include vitamin B1, or thiamin;
vitamin B2, or riboflavin; vitamin B3 or niacin; vitamin B5, or panthothenic acid; vitamin B6, or pyridoxine; vitamin B7, or biotin; vitamin B9, which is folate or folic acid; and vitamin B12, or cobalamin. B vitamins are soluble in water, so excess amounts will not build up in the body, but be excreted through urine. However, large doses of some B-complex vitamins can still cause side effects and health risks. If a blood test shows that you are not deficient in B vitamins, you do not need to supplement with vitamin B complex. If you are deficient, the health risks can be serious. B vitamins are required for basic bodily functions, such as turning food into usable energy and creating red blood cells. Vitamin B complex supplements, taken under the supervision of a doctor, can treat your deficiency and complications associated with it, such as anemia and fatigue. Some people experience diarrhea, gas and nausea from taking normal doses of vitamin B complex supplements. If you experience excessive itching, hives, swelling, tingling or difficulty breathing, you may be having an allergic reaction and need medical attention.
If you've taken too much vitamin B complex, some symptoms you may experience include blurry vision, nausea and vomiting, numbness, high blood sugar, liver problems and skin lesions. Change in urine color to a fluorescent yellow is a normal and harmless side effect of vitamin B complex. If you experience any uncomfortable side effects, see your doctor. Certain foods are fortified with B vitamins, including breads and cereals. If you're taking tablets that provide 100 percent of your daily recommended intake of B vitamins, you may want to eat fortified foods in moderation -- and watch out for side effects. B vitamins interact with certain medications, so consult with your doctor before taking them if you're on any prescription or over-the-counter medicine. Taking one vitamin B complex tablet a day is not likely to cause toxicity, so you don't have to worry as long as you don't take more than the dosage recommended on the product label. For example, the upper safety limit for vitamin B3 is 35 milligrams daily.
