What vitamin B dosage is recommended to take with sam-E?
I read you should take 100mg of vitamin B complex along with sam-E to prevent Homocysteine buildup, but that sounds really high. Is that dosage okay? I don't want to overload on the B vitamins, and I haven't found a clear answer on what is too much. Also, can I still take my multi-vitamin as well?
Thanks for any info.

Actually, a B-100 complex isn’t very high compared to what several of the B Vitamins are available as separately. For example, a B-100 complex would have 100 mcg of B-12 while most B-12 products would have anywhere between 500 and 5,000 mcg per dose. It’s definitely not too much.
Yes, you can certainly take a multivitamin during the same day, but I would take it 2-3 hours apart because the B Vitamins are water soluble. That means that if you get more than your body can absorb, it will excrete out what it can’t use… by taking them separately, you’ll get the most out of it.
Good luck and I hope I helped!
