Is it possible to take too much vitamin B6 & B12?!


Question:

Is it possible to take too much vitamin B6 & B12?

I am want to make sure that I am getting enough Zinc, so have just bought a supplement, which contains 100% of the RDA + 1000% RDA of B12. I am also taking a multivitamin that doesn't have Zinc.

I vaguely remember reading that too much Vitamin B is bad for you. Is this true? What is the effect?


Answers:

All but Vitamin A,D,E,and K are water soluble and are excreted by the kidneys, provided that you have sufficient fluid intake and healthy kidneys to handle them.
A,D,E,K are "fat soluble" and stored in fatty tissue and have the potential to present a toxic effect.
Our ability to absorb B vitamins declines with age, the presence of gastric( stomach ) ieGERD: disorders and is influenced by the wide array of medications to affect gastric acidity.
B-12, in particular, absorption, reaches near zero, after age sixty and oral multivitamins containing B-12 is completely ineffective. This can be offset by diet ( green vegetables) or liquid or tablet preparations that are absorbed, under the tongue before reaching the stomach (sub-lingual).
