B complex

[Darcey14]

Hi all just wondering if anyone takes a b complex vitamin? Was thinking of dripping my b12 100ug and starting to take a complex instead which obviously includes b12. Just mainly for that but also biotin. Having issues with losing a lot of hair than what I'm used to.

I only take 400mcg of folate. I tested my b vits through my GP who did this as I have another condition. They were all fine except folate. I also had my fat soluble vits tested and in fact my Vit A was over range after I had been supplementing. I personally believe you should only be taking what you know you need.

I alternate my multivuf and a basic b complex. As on frequent injections I'm not absorbing enough b12 from tablets to bother .

You cant overdoses on b12

I go by blood tests .

I only need 200mcg folic acid x4 a week

Havevyiu had iron and ferritin checked.?

I had hair loss with low ferritin ad did one if my daughters .

I'm currently on 10 weekly b12, 1 ferrograd inc vit c a day and a 1000ug vit d as these were all low. The ferritin and d have increased slightly since my the first lot of bloods. Had them check about 6 weeks ago and vit d went from 40 to 52 and ferritin 24 to 70. So I am continuing to take these as still not ideal levels. I have just reintroduced a b12 supplement to help top me up. Not even sure if I can absorb it or not but it cant do any harm to try. But if I take a complex it will include it and maybe the biotin will give a hand to the skin and hair. That's my train of thought anyways...
