B3 overdose is dangerous if you have susceptibility to gout.

This happened to me after I inadvertently megadosed by consuming a knock-off Berocca drink containing something like 10x RDI.

That was over 10 years ago. I have not had a gout attack since.

Edited: Risk is actually for Vit B3 (Niacin). The drink I had contained massive amounts of B12, B3 and others.
