Chloe, I just changed my e-mail so will send you my new address tonight. All three of my kitties send their love too - wonder if they'd get along with Teddy? They're pretty leery of dogs.
Your Ultra Hair formula has nothing that would cause problems. Most B vitamins, in excess of what the cells can use (there's a "saturation point"), just flush out in your urine. Too much B6 can cause neuropathy problems but your B6 isn't too high. The reason I think it's better to get B complex from food sources (or mix different B copmplex brands), is because no one formula has all the B vitamins in good proportion. That's not to say that they won't help you - but really, the main difference is the price.
The amount of B vitamins in these tablets won't all be used by your body if you take it in a single dose. You might want to break them into three pieces (they don't have to be even) & take a piece with each meal. More chance of utilising the dose without peeing most of it out. Your money will go further that way.
If you've ever had a B complex tablet start to dissolve in your mouth, you'll know how awful they taste. But if you can't swallow those size pills, why not dissolve it in a 1/4 cup water & take 1/3 of it with each meal? No more choking but you'll want to have something ready to put in your mouth after, to take away the hideous taste.
