I also see a lot of people asking about it on forums, in regards to fearing being tested using it. Not sure why.

I am going to look into it more, not to try or anything as I am happy with how I am balanced now...but just to learn on it.
People worry because it's banned in many countries.
The reason its banned is the high levels of Vitamins E and B12.

Its legal in boxing and other sports though.

Its essentially an energy supplement and I'm wondering of the ethical issues?

Is it wrong to take a substance that is banned in your countrty and not in your sport?
I don't think it's unethical in this case. You could easily buy supplements for vitamin E and B12 separately and combine them with other supplements and take more than the recommended dose.

In sport you will use more of many things though so why not take more? It'd be nice to be getting it through actual food rather than a supplement but if that's not working for you or possible then I wouldn't go on being deficient in something just because you are more active than the general population in your country.

I'm curious as to why it makes you pee green. I take vitamin B12 - had mouth ulcers often without it and it fixed me up. The vitamin B12 makes me pee bright yellow - luckily i know it's normal because the pharmacist warned me - otherwise i'd probably constantly worry and think i'm dehydrated.

The green though!
