In reply to how many B-100 complexes before a vitamin is toxic, posted by iforgotmypassword on June 18, 2008, at 19:58:24
Normally, you cannot split a timed-release pill. Only one company that I know of has ever successfully made a TABLET that was timed-release and could be split while still preserving the timed-release properties. I do not even know if they still do it, as the process used coats every individual grain of powder before pressing it into a tablet. It is an expensive process. The company is Nature's Plus and you could probably call them and ask if they still do it.
As far as B dosages, I posted some links in another post about B6 toxicity. I would not routinely go above 100mgs per day for B6 for any reason based on my readings. Notice I said routinely. I would not go above 500mg of B6 per day ever.
