Despite doing this, and certainly not taking them every day (since July 29 I've only taken 3 in total, however before that I was taking a much smaller dose of a supermarket own brand several times a week), my skin has broken out quite profusely in inflamed pustules, papules, microzits and sebum overload. What is more, my hair is falling out. I am not joking when I say it's certainly not normal shedding or even the cyclical sheeding that hair naturally goes through. I'm assuming its the b-vits that are either partially or wholly causing these issues.
Bottom line I still was consuming far more than the RDI and I'm paying the price for it now. I took the last 1/4 of my 3rd tablet yesterday and woke up this morning to a forehead and chin with a considerable increase in angry looking microzits where previously there were only a few (my cheeks were the affected areas), and around 20 hairs on my pillow (20 is a lot when you never shed hair in your sleep before).
In conclusion, please exercise caustion with b-vits, especially high doses of b5, b6 and b12 even if you decide to halve or quarter them. The low strength supermarket brand ones may have been keeping my skin in minor breakout mode or at least preventing it from not breaking out, but the high strength ones actually seemed to exaccerbate the problem.
