    I take the Trivita Sublingual B12. The amount is higher than the daily requirement but it does not affect me negatively. My doctor also said it was a great thing to do because it absorbs better into the bloodstream.

    Can one overdose on B vitamins? I am a senior and want to take a multivitamin but the product I want to use for seniors has no iron and over 400% of B vitamins!!! Sounds like way too high to me. Janey

    Everyone should be taking five basic vitamin suppliments because it is virtually impossible to maintain a steady intake of our recommended daily vitamin requirements (RDA). The five forms of suppliments I suggest are; 1) a name brand daily multiple vitamin vitamin (the name brands are more concerned about product liability) Centurum or One-A-Day. 2)extra vitamin "C" , because many people need more than the RDA that is in the daily multivitamin. Mega doses of vitamin "C" has been proven to cure schzofrinia. 80% of the human population suffers from some measure of this disease. 3)extra B's vitamins in the form of Super B-Complex vitamins - these B-complex vitamins are hard to find in our food but are most vital to fight physical, emotional, and chemical stress. If fact the chemical stress caused by insecticides depleats these vitamins faster than we can replace them without suppliments and causes migrain headachs. The insectcides ( chemical stress ) stress depleats our B's from our metabolism and then our bodies have to find them in our spinal cord lining and when they are depleated from there the body goes to the base of the brain and begins to cause brain damage: which is reversable by taking extra b-Complex vitamin with your daily. Deficiantcies of these B-Complex vitamins because of chemical stress, I believe, is the reason that we have Parkinson's, Altheimer's, and Demencia. 4) extra vitamin "E" about 200 mg to start then up to 400 mg to assit me amune system in combating free radicals such as those found in margarine. 5) finally the lastest discover is that Omega three, and Omega 4 (fish oil) can reduce your chances of heart attach and stroke from 30% to 50% and very important for women. Men should only take extra Iron only as recommended by a doctor and should avoid them if you live at higher geographical elevations ( 4000 plus feet above sea level. I am 55 yrs. and have been practicing what I am preaching here since I was 30 yrs. I still feel and work as if I were 30 and I am about five pounds heavier that I was when I graduated from high school: 5'10" and 167 pounds. The extra added benefit of taking suppliments is that first your will accomplish a stable metabolism: when that happens your body stops storing unneccessary fats. So if you are over weight try my formulae and watch the pounds drop off no matter what you eat. R/S wild_bill_walker@yahoo.com

    P.S. You should never take vitamin suppliments on an empty stomach or without food. I remember to take my vitamins (first thing in the morning) by treating myself to a fried pie or sandwich and my favorite drink this helps to make sure that all 5 vitamin tablets go down into the stomach so that I can metabolise them.
