I compared it to Deplin, on the basis of dose. Deplin has two doses, 7.5 and 15 mg. The same company also produces a 1 mg dose, but they don't call it Deplin.
Your supplement is great, as it also has small amounts of other B-vitamins. B-vitamins interact considerably, so if you were just taking a single B-vitamin, the increased demand for other B-vitamins that participate in the same enzymatic pathway would have to met from other sources. Whoever made your supplement anticipated the amount of other B-vitamins that were needed by your body to not substitute one deficiency condition for another.
In case you might consider increasing your dose in the future, it would be perfectly safe to do so.
Best,
