There are a couple aspects to this. First and foremost, B Vitamins are water soluble… that means that it’s not only very difficult to overdose (short of swallowing a whole bottle’s worth at once), but your body will also only absorb what it needs and excrete out the rest of it.
Second, the “maximum effective dose” will really vary depending on your system as different people can use different amounts.

With all that being said, generally a B-50 or B-100 complex is more than sufficient for B Vitamin levels, but I wouldn’t go above what you can find in standalone supplements of each individual B Vitamin (eg. 100 mg of B1, 500-1,000 mcg of B-12, etc) to make sure you don’t get more than you can use. Good luck and I hope I helped!
