I had a blood test recently & i came up lacking some vitamins, and i wanted to start w/ the b vitamins.
my levels were:
b1 0.9
b2 1.3
b5 14.4
b6 4.8
oddly enough, my b12 level is good at 604, and my other b vitamin levels are good too.
(i'm low in vitamin d, omega 3 and ferritin, too high in copper but i wanted to take 1 thing at a time.)
I tried a super b complex vitamin from Naturemade:
it contains
vit C (ascorbic acid) 150 mg
thiamine (thiamine mononitrate) 100 mg
riboflavin 20 mg
niacin (niacinamide) 25 mg
vit B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) 2 mg
folate 667 mcg dfe (400 mcg folic acid)
b12 (cyanocobalamine) 15 mcg
biotin 30mcg
pantothenic acid (d calcium pantothenate) 5.5 mg
calcium (dibasic calcium phosphate) 35 mg
I took these on Fri, sat and sunday and by sunday night i felt horribly sick inside. (i posted this on the anxiety thread). it felt like i was having the physical signs of anxiety but not mentally.
Nausea, restlessness, heart racing, etc.
So I'm wondering if it was a reaction to the b vitamins, and if there is a better brand to try.
If i can't take the B vitamins, then how do I deal w/ deficiencies?
