18. Yep B6 and B12 can both be over consumed

Yep B6 and B12 can both be over consumed. B6 is often added to supplements and medicines to increase absorption. The max total daily dose for each is 250mg B6, and about 250 mcg B12. it is ok to go beyond RDA for most B vitamins, those two and niacin have clear maximums.

There was a study awhile ago about a daily multivitamin, and the results was keep doing what you're doing, if you don't take it already don't start and if you're already taking don't stop. A weird result, but my guess is it is due to some ingredients being good and other potentially harmful.

Stay safe.
