Is there a good B complex supplement that helps, esp. with neurotransmitters ?

this study claims that methionine can lift methyl trap. that could be what helps you maybe.

Yes, that is the methylfolate trap that many have discussed on the forums. But they forget this part:

"This explains why administration of folic acid, which induces cell division and use of methionine in protein synthesis, impairs methylation of myelin and precipitates or exacerbates subacute combined degeneration."

what does that mean?

I think I need some neurotransmitter help.
I'm taking Metformin (diabetes type 2 med) and it depletes B12 and my blood test for B12 was extremely low.

I've got bad insomnia, but I feel not just serotonin and melatonin lack, but aceytlcholine too.
Taking Aceytl-l-carnitine really helps, for a few weeks until I get habituated to it.

I'm looking for suggestions on a good B complex that might help me with neurotransmitters in general, and sleep in particular. (B12 helps with melatonin for example - I'm taking a Adeno.Hydroxy combo)

I take them seperated, and can´t tolerate B6. And ever with B3 (!, as well as some amino acids, togther with B3).
And I find it very helpful to take them in low dose.

Here a more detailed plan, that I ve devolped recently: Lysin - B5 - Tyrosin (precursor of dopamine). Or: Lysin - B2 - B5 - B1 - Tyrosin - B7 (and all with B3).

Back in the 80s I was seeing a private Doctor in Cambridge UK and one of her approaches was vitamin B injections. She must have been in her 50s or 60s back then. It's surprising really though that all these years later there aren't more people specialising in our plight. My point really though is it didn't have any benefit.

It means that a deficiency of methionine can cause degeneration of the spinal cord, just like a deficiency of B12 or folate.
