can a b vitamin complex make you itchy?
I took a b vitamin complex last night and now i'm really itchy mainly on my arms and legs (ankles and knees). I know a deficiency in b vitamins can make you itchy but can it work the other way around?Here are the list of ingredients.
vitamin c,b1,b2,b3,b6,folic acid,b12,biotin,pantothenic acid
i'm not deficient in b vitamins, i took them to replace those lost by a night of drinking (yes i know drinking is bad for you) since i didn't have any gatorade.

lol I went on here searching for the answer to your question. I just recently started taking a Vitamin B Complex and was fine for 2 days until today my face and neck started to feel itchy. It feels like there are bugs crawling underneath my skin and it is very annoying. Since you have a similar situation as me then maybe it is the Vitamin B Complex. I am going to try it again tomorrow to see if I still get the same reaction.

I have never heard that happening before. I use a vitamin B complex everyday and it has never bothered me. Are you sure its the vitamin and not some other factor? Try it again today – Oh and you are supposed to take vitamins in the morning, especially Vitamin B as they make you more alert and it will be harder to fall asleep at night

well if you took it in pill form, you are still deficient, most of the B vitamins are destroyed in stomach acids. You can get B-12 and B-6 in lozenge form so you let them melt in your mouth and absorb the nutrients through the mucous membranes in your mouth. The others you need to get from a balanced diet. Taking them in pill form does you no good and is a waste of money.
