Answer 1

Many of the B vitamins have no observed side effects when taken in enormous doses, and if your kidneys and liver are functioning properly, your body will only keep as much as it’ll use.

Except B6, which can cause nervous system problems at high doses (<~400% DV). Don’t eat too much niacin.
