Taking very high-dose vitamin B supplements should be avoided by most people, since this can potentially lead to side effects, including nerve damage, numbness, tingling, elevated levels of homocysteine — which may contribute to issues like atherosclerosis — nausea, jaundice, elevated liver enzymes and potentially increased risk for certain types of cancer. If you’re taking medications to control a health condition or antibiotics for an infection, make sure to mention any supplements you take to your doctor to check for interactions.
If you are concerned about getting too vitamin B from a combination of your diet and supplements, then the first thing to do is cut out fortified foods. Most experts recommend taking a daily multivitamin and skipping fortified foods like cereals, energy bars or drinks, processed grain products, milk substitutes, etc.
