Hi everyone
I've been reading about the benefits of mega-dosing on B1 (Thiamine or Benfotiamine as a synthetic and more absorbed version). And I wondered if supplementing with high-dose B1 could accelerate B12d healing, particularly for any neurological issues or lingering nerve pain.
B12, B9, B6 and B1 are needed as co-factors, and many naturopaths suggest B1 mega-doses can improve fibromyalgia, for example. It is my beliefe that fibro is a consquence of diet and mostly vegetarian diets. But I'm happy to be proven wrong/for you to express a different opinion.
And if B1 works for neve damage from fibro, it could work for nerve damage from lack of b12, which could be linked.
I think there was one person on the forum who suggested B1 injections helped them with B12. But does anyone supplement with high doses of B1 (Thiamin or Benfotiamine)?
Would there be any risks to high doses and potential interactions with other vitamins?
Many thanks
