What does this mean? Im a bit confused. ???
Andy Battaglia:
Check any vitamin company online. Just search for B Complex. It's a supplement with a wide range of B vitamins included in doses sufficient to be useful.

Thank you, Andy!
I'm not sure why some measurements are in "IU" and others are in "mg". Is it correct that 400 IU of Vitamin E would be 268mg?
Andy Battaglia:
Make sure it isn't synthetic E. 1 mg of alpha-tocopherol is equivalent to 1.49 IU of the natural form, so yes it would be 268 mg.
