For instance, Bucked Up has over 8000% B12 and nearly 1500% B6. Why?

Having a medical deficiency of B vitamins is linked to symptoms like feeling sleepy, problems concentrating, body aches – generally feeling ‘slow’.
Additionally B vitamins don’t build up in your body, if you have too much you just pee them out.
(controversial) B vitamins appear to be not absorbed ‘at their best’ in liquid form, it’s more ‘available’ for your body in the form of solid food.
The kind of people who worry about their B-vitamin intake but *aren’t* actual medical patients seeing doctors about a deficiency are also the kind of people who would see an ‘energy drink’ containing ‘8000%’ of the daily requirement of B12 and think, Hey! I gotta drink that shit! That’ll be great for me!
So in summary: companies who make ‘energy drinks’ can easily add fuck-tons of it to their drinks to appeal to a consumer base without worrying about poisoning their clients.
