Hi Shelley!

I went out and got a B-Complex vitamin from Solaray. In one capsule, there is 400 mcg of folic acid, 100 mcg of both B-12 and Biotin, and then 100 mg of B-1, B-2, B-3, B-6, and Pantothenic Acid.

How many should I take in a day for this to help with my acne? I have been getting a lot of acne around the mouth lately, not to mention the shiny hormone mountain growing on my chin.

Thanks!
Shawna

Whilst on the subject of B vitamins I also have a question about B12 shots. I have been getting one shot a week from my GP for 3 weeks, he says he will do another show next week (that will be 4 in total) then he wants to do one shot every two weeks for a while, then onto one a month etc. I have to admit I feel so much better from having them each week and the furrow in my tongue is disappearing too.

As B12 shots from a GP are synthetic are there any risks involved or ill health issues?
Can you overdose on B12, as I wish to start on Spirulina also for when I get off the shots I have an intake of B12 already going on? Your opinion?

B12 shots have been administered for well over 20 years, and no cases of toxicity have been reported. So far, no one knows what the symptoms of B12 overdose are! Since your doctor has you reducing dosage as you go I wouldn't worry about it. Smile

take just one about every - other day. It's best not to overdo pills.
