I've been working on getting on a steady dose of B vitamins for a while. It's been going great, with regards to B9 and B12. The rest, in a B complex, has been exceptionally difficult.
I started with the Thorne B Complex #12, and also tried the Douglas B Complex. After 1-2 days, I was very "wired and tired," irritable, and just worn down feeling. It was really unpleasant, and I had to stop both. I've also tried Jarrow's B Right with the same result. I tried these in half doses, and also with magnesium citrate, with the same unfortunate result.
After a break to build up some cofactors, I now finally got my hands on Biotics Research's B-100 complex, with very mild doses of everything. Plus, a serving size is 3 tablets, to it's even easier to take less.
Alas, 1 tablet brought on the same effects (just to a lesser degree). The next day I tried another tablet to confirm, and they're definitely back. I'm on edge, needed a nap, and just generally not benefitting from it.
Am I missing something? Why can't I tolerate any B complex? Any suggestions? Do I need to tough it out for a period of time?
