I would like to know from the doctors community that if a normal adult (say a woman of over 40 yrs of age) can take a daily dose of vitamin B (a combination of B1, B6, B12 )without the prescription from the doctor. Is there any risk involved in indulging in such an act like any side effects on the body or the vital organs? What good can a combination of vitamin Bs does to ones body if taken regularly?

the B family of vitamins do us a real service, B6 is a powerful anti-oxidant, B12 helps our metabolic rate and increases our energy, and B1 aids in digestion. If she asked her doctor about it, he could give her some good ideas which doseages would be best for her.
Personally, I take 200mg of B6, and 500mg of B12. Oh, be sure that she is not trying to take B12 in pill form, stomach acids pretty much destroy B12, it needs to be taken in sublingual form (melt in your mouth) so it is absorbed directly into the blood stream thru the oral mucosa. Otherwise, you just waste money.
