Can I take a multivitamin PLUS a "B vitamin" 100% complex?
I have the Centrum performance which includes Vitamins B1 (4.5 mg) ---- B2 (5.1 mg) ------ B6 (6mg) ------ B12 (18 mcg)
and also has Niacin (20mg) ----- and Folic Acid (400 mcg)
The B Complex I'm taking has all the above in lesser qty's.
My question is how much in mg's and mcg's of each of the things I listed above can I safely take without overdosing.....OR if you just know that I can take them together??? THANKS!
I just don't want to die if I take them together!! But I just got the Centrum Performance this morning and I already took the B complex today. I really wanna take one of the Centrum's tonight.

I don’t know that much about them, but I think the Centrum has enough that your not suppose to have to take more on top of that, but my friends at work told me they do take an additional B complex too, so I don’t think that will hurt, but if you really want the right answer, go to one of your Health Food Stores nearby and ask them. They generally are very informative about these subjects and can suggest to you the best "mix" to take all together.

You can’t overdose with vitamins, except maybe D and A, but not B. Take as much as you want and don’t worry about it.

What your body doesn’t use, you will pee out. In such small quantities, you can’t overdose on your B vitamins. I.e. I take 800 mg total of B2 daily and 1000 mcg of B12.
