Post some B complexes...

have 50mg of thiamine, Some 100mg and some just a bit more than RDA.

B-50's, B-100's... typically are considered "high"

Your product is a compromise product for people who don't want really high amounts of any of the Bs. Some people get hyper on them, or feel higher doses are not necessary. The RDA for thiamine is just over 1mg. RDA amounts for some nutrients are considered not accurate by many nutritionists.
Your 5mg of methylcobalamine is in the 83,000% range if you compare to RDA values of 2-4 mcg.

When people have PROBLEMS...that is when higher doses are more useful.
Thiamine is sold alone in 50 and 100mg strengths. For many years, the first 20 yrs of my professional life in fact, thiamine was routinely used for PN.

With the arrival of fancy drugs like Elavil and Neurontin, this changed. These drugs do not heal and only cover up symptoms. I believe the thiamine restores normal nerve functioning, and it should still be used. It does not have the side effect profile of B6, and is very well tolerated and inexpensive.
