I am about to commence my methylation protocol. Aside from the essentials I would like some advice regarding which Multi Bs and other support vitamins to buy (as Im buying internationally, Id like to get them all at once).
B-complex:
I have decided to take buy a B-complex that does not contain any cyanob12 or folate or folinic acid.
I notice the brands vary between the ratios of the various Bs. Is there a rule of thumb to guide us? Should we be focussing on one that provides the highest B6 (as P5P) as they vary from 20mcg to 100mcg (AOR) per tablet?
If the B-complex has mb12 and I am on the hb12 protocol does that matter? Ditto for the opposite if Im on a hb12 protocol and the B complex contains mb12, does that matter? Obviously these amounts will need to be included in total b12 intake.
Cofactors and other recommended supplements:
This is the most difficult area as I really like the contents of the General Vitamin Neurological Health Formula, aside from the cyanob12 and folic acid.
Does anyone know of any product(s) that contains ingredients similar to the General Vitamin Neurological Health Formula but minus all the Bs (which I can take separately)?
I am happy to buy a number of the vitamins/minerals separately but there is a limit as to how many and how small you can cut a pill!
Im not looking for the perfect pill, just one that doesnt contain cyanob12 or folate.
Are there any rule of thumb guidelines for dosages of zinc, copper, (it seems zinc/copper imbalances are seen in methylation problems), selenium (upper limit is 400mcg), potassium (I seem to recall Freddd mentioning 400mcg/day spread over the day), inositol, intrinsic factor, TMG, ALA etc. Freddd has given guideline dosages for a few of these on his protocol.
I am only looking for baseline dosages to support the protocol. Obviously everyones chemistry is different and only testing identify specific deficiencies.
thanks
