I don't know how many times this suggestion has been made here but here it goes I really do highly suggest this supplement for three things energy, focus and mental well being overall, or mood really, I have been using a strong b-50 tablet each morning for the last couple of weeks and it is amazing

I use a B-100 but then broken in half, taking half with breakfast and half with dinner.
If you insist on B-50 (and why not?) you might want to buy B-100s, break them in half and use 1/2 a day. Much less expensive usually.

I'm interested in taking a B-complex supplement. I've been looking around and the %DV in most of the ones I have found are extreme.
For example: Serving Size: 1 Capsule Servings Per Container: 250
Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Thiamine (from Thiamine HCl) (Vitamin B-1) 100 mg 6667% Riboflavin (Vitamin B-2) 100 mg 5882% Niacin (as Niacinamide) 100 mg 500% Vitamin B-6 (as Pyridoxine HCl) 100 mg 5000% Vitamin B-12 (as Cyanocobalamin) 100 mcg 1667% Biotin 100 mcg 33% Folic Acid 400 mcg 100% Pantothenic Acid (from Calcium Pantothenate) 100 mg 1000% Choline Bitartrate 100 mg † Inositol 100 mg † PABA 10 mg † * Percent Daily Values are based on 2,000 calorie diet. † Daily Value not established.
Then I find this dosage chart: Vitamin B Complex Dosage Chart Vitamin B Type 0-6 Months 6-12 Months 1-18 Years 18 Years + Pregnant/Lactating Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) 0.3 mg 0.5 mg 1-1.5 mg 1.5 mg + 0.5 mg Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) 0.4 mg 0.6 mg 1-1.5 mg 1.7 mg + 0.5 mg Vitamin B3 (Niacin) 6 mg 8 mg 10-15 mg 15-20 mg + 4 mg Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) 2.5 mg 3 mg 4-7 mg 10 mg + 3 mg Vitamin B6 0.3 mg 0.6 mg 1-2 mg 2-2.5 mg + 0.6 mg Vitamin B7 (Biotin) 35 mcg 50 mcg 100-200 mcg 300 mcg + 50 mcg Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) 30 mcg 50 mcg 100-400 mcg 400 mcg 1 mg Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) 0.5 mcg 1.5 mcg 2-4 mcg 4-6 mcg + 1 mcg
Kind of hard to read... I'm wondering why they amounts are so high in the supplements? Is it a bioavailability thing?

i take b-100's, straight after lunch (recommended)
as well as a multi-VMA in the morning and a vit-c PWO
as well as ZMA before bed (tends to make you a bit drowsy)
i used to tihnk taking vitamins was a waste of money and just burning money
now my attitude has changed since my quality of life has improved drastically.

Thats a B-100, and a badly formulated one at that. Of that one, take 1/2 a day and you're golden.
Whats bad about it is that pyridoxine is at 100 too,m it should not be over 50 as higher doses ion some give neurological trouble.
