I started taking Metagenics Intrinsi B12 Folate at the suggestion of my chiro for energy.
Folate 800 mcg
Methylbcolamine 500 mcg
Intrinsic Factor 20 mg
I took half a pill, so half of the dose above
It gave me energy, I felt happier, etc. it's been a nice reprieve.
But sometimes after taking it, I feel revved and I start cursing like a sailor.
I can't follow the 23 and Me test and I don't even know what it says. I am overwhelmed by it and don't know how to convert it. I don't have the mental energy to figure it out. Too much on plate. A few years ago, I contacted a guy who worked with Yasko and he said I needed Methylcobalamin so I know that is what my 23 and Me test said. He felt I should not eat onions or garlic. He's right...I get so ill from onions. It stays on my breath for days.
I don't get rid of sulfur, I think.
I want the energy this new formula provides but I'm upset with the feeling revved. I also wake up with a lot of pain now every AM. Unusually so, even on the magnesium/taurine shots. This could have something to do with the weather. Rain constantly.
But....in my gut I think it's detox.
I take potassium, too.
Ugh. This is why methylation is hard. I'm too brain fogged to figure it out.
If I stop the 1/2 a pill, I am so tired so I don't want to stop it. If I take it, I am revved.
Not sure of what to do.
I read Caledonia's document on starting slow and low.
Anyway...just writing this out. Want it to work because it's doing something!
