Because B vitamins are water-soluble and not stored in your body like fat-soluble vitamins, you can’t take too many. Your body will use only what it needs and release the rest. The studies on B vitamins referred to all used high levels with no adverse effects.

Vitamin B Complex contains 6 mcg of Vitamin B12 or cobalamin, which is more than double the daily recommended amount (by traditional standards). B12 Energy Booster contains 1 mg per serving, which is considerably higher.
