I know for some vitamins; too much can be a bad thing.
Is this true for vitamin B12?

http://dietary-supplements.info.nih....minb12.asp#h11The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies did not establish a UL for this vitamin because vitamin B12 has a very low potential for toxicity. The IOM states that "no adverse effects have been associated with excess vitamin B12 intake from food and supplements in healthy individuals" [7]. In fact, the IOM recommends that adults older than 50 years get most of their vitamin B12 from vitamin supplements or fortified food because of the high incidence of impaired absorption in this age group of vitamin B12 from foods that come from animals.
Thanks Eevee! I started taking a B12 capsule with my multi vitamin because I read about the horrible effects of vitamin B12 deficiency.


No worries!
I'm actually crazy about Vitamin B12 as well and take 2 Berocca tablets a day (even though the recommended daily limit is 1). I find that it gives me so much more energy and pep than caffeine does. I can see how celebs are addicted to their B12 shots!
Yeah, my MV is 200% daily value, but I started taking B12 capsules and feel so much better.
