"Any and all B vitamins don't hurt in excess doses"
This is simply not true. For starters, Niacin does dammage the liver. Infact there are prescription niacin preparations available for cholesterol lowering that must state this
side effect on product inserts.Lecethin, and other supplements that contain choline can percipitate depression. There is quite a lot of evidence to suggest this. Enhancement of cholinergic function can exasperate depression and panic in certain individuals.
B6 in doses higher than 100mg for extended periods of time will lead to nerve degeneration in the extremeties.
Inositol in high doses can trigger manic reactions in certain individuals. Both lithium and Depakote are thought to work by lower inositol levels in the brain.
High doses of Folic acid can worsen insomnia, by lowering magnesium levels.
I urge to to visit the quite informed site.
