Need help on 2 vitamin complexes

Vitamin B complex
I nly take 1 capsule a day so what you see the dosages of, its only half that, but still 25mg of some of these vitamins is way more than enough for a 'supplement' dont you think? Also its says
Niacin (as inositol hexaniacinate) 25mg, (500% RDI), then later....
Inositol Hexaniacinate 130 mg (RDI not established), then later again...
Inositol (as inositol hexaniacinate) 26 mg
isn't that all the same thing?
Anything else weird/good/bad about it?
And for Vitamin E
Click Me
Is the amounts, ratios between alpha, gamma etc good? Do I Need to supplement on another 'E' as well? I only take 1 of these a day )so half the serving size).
thanks.

I like it. You might want to add extra folic acid (homocysteine effect maxes out at around 1 mg and endothelial function studies used 5 mg) and biotin (alpha lipoic acid competes with it).

Yep: 26 mg inositol + 100 mg niacin ~ 130 mg IH

Too much alpha. Alpha and gamma are nearly equal, and that results in gamma going lower than with no supplement at all. I like the Jarrow product. (It's cheaper, too.)

What foods are rich in gamma E that I can take while I use up my current kind?

shouldn't you also include the other class of Vitamin E, the tocophierols?
Do you mean tocotrienols? I get 10 mg from Ortho Core, and don't take any extra because I don't want my cholesterol (112) to go any lower.
Is there any risk in taking too much of the other varieties of Vitamin E? I noticed the RDI of beta, gamma and delta E are not established. Can you get toxicity from these kinds? Or only based from the synthetic alpha

I suppose (pure speculation) that if you go crazy with it, it might cause blood coagulation problems just like alpha.
It would take a disgusting amount of oil to increase your gamma E intake. I'd just chuck the high-alpha product and chalk it up to experience.

yeah sorry for the spelling. Can they lower cholestrol to dangerous levels if you take too much of them.
