Amendment to last post — Taking Two Different Forms of B1

[Gcf51]

One day I only took 5mg TTFD and no B1 hcl oral, my mood was good, but I had very bad neck pain. I speculate that TTFD is not utilized by the body the same as B1 hcl oral. Taking a leap of faith, TTFD will be absorbed and carried by my blood to the brain faster than it will be utilized by my body.

So, today I took 5 mg of TTFD one hour prior to taking my 1000mg of B1 hcl oral. I am thinking that a small dose of TTFD will be to make it through the Blood-Brain-Barrier and provide all the B1 my brain needs before it can be delivered to the rest of the body. I took my 1000mg to provide my body with B1. If need be, I will start taking less hcl. note: whether brain got enough or not will be determined, but did experience tingling in my head.

Basis of my speculation in my first comment,

I read somewhere that TTFD was determined to be 100% absorbed into the body by measuring the byproduct in urine.

As I understand the absorption is only into living cells, so the reaction can take place in the gut with bacteria, so it is best to take on an empty stomach (note: it is reasonable to assume that any TFD in your gut is passed into your blood stream and must be processed by your liver to MTHFD).

Interesting in the horonnesmatter article (above) Elliot Overton mentions euphoria (which I called utopia in a previous post).
