Just a quick point.
If your worried that taking a B-complex results in expensive urine, the way to reduce this is to purchase your B-complex (and your Multivitamin complex for that matter) in slow release tablets.
Some brands offer the slow release form and the nutrients are released over an 8 hour period meaning that your body is not immediately flooded with the nutrients.
When I changed to slow release tablets, I knew they were working because I no longer had bright fluorescent urine shortly after taking my tablets
(this fluorescent yellow urine is apparently caused by excess B2 or riboflavin as the body can only handle about 25mg maximum at once and the excess is immediately excreted through the urine)The other advantage of the slow release tablets is that your body has access to the full B-complex over a longer period of time.
