As to the question of the OP about dosing. As B12 is a water soluble vitamin, excess intake will just make your urine richer in vitamins. It will not accumulate in your body as can ADE and K. Perhaps there is some huge number which would be excessive, but if you stick with OTC products or simple multivites (how about a Flintstones?) you should be entirely safe

I agree somewhat: Too much B12 will make your urine richer in vitamins but your liver will store some. Although, I get what you mean, that the storage amount might not be as much as it is for some other vitamins.
