Prepare for a long weekend.

I am wondering how much I need to dose, and what kind of schedule I should follow when dosing. The serving size per capsule of each is as follows:
Vitamin C (from calcium ascorbate): 500mg
Calcium (from calcium ascorbate): 50mg

I would actually dose this at probably 4-6 meals - 1 capsule is fine. Much depends upon your other nutrient-timing.
Quote:
Vitamin B1 (as thiamine HCl): 100mg
Vitamin B2 (as riboflavin): 100mg
Niacin (as niacinamide): 100mg
Vitamin B-6 (as pyridoxine HCl): 100mg
Folic Acid: 400mcg
Vitamin B-12 (as methylcobalamin): 100mcg
Biotin: 100mcg
Pantothenic Acid (as D-calcium pantothenate): 100mg
Choline Bitartrate: 100mg
Inositol: 100mg
PABA (para aminobenzoic acid): 100mg
With these dosages, how many times a day should I take one capsule?

As I have noted on this subforum in the past, there are only two B vitamins that really harbor side-effect potential we know about - Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine especially) and Niacin. Still, the doses here are NO WHERE NEAR required side effect tallies.
That said, I would dose rather liberally myself here, ESPECIALLY if your desire is to persue a CKD style diet.
