It’s cheap and your body can easily get rid of it so it’s safe to take that much. Most people get plenty of b vitamins so the supplemental b vitamins are mostly peed out. This makes your urine change color which is a common way to trick people into thinking supplements are doing something to the body. 

Back when most medicines were snake oil one of the most popular types of medicine was laxatives because there were natural ones and they had an obvious effect to the user. If a medieval person had high blood pressure and you gave them blood pressure medicine the effects might be so subtle that they didn’t think it was doing anything at all
