There isn't a protocol .Just got by your blood results and supplement if deficient .

Then find s maintenence dose if needed to stay in range if absorbtion problems from food 🤔

Thank you Nackapan -

I think I was advised by one of your panel to take a B Complex supplement - I take one capsule a day but not sure if it is ok to continue with it as a maintenence dose - or should I leave it off in between, as not wanting to overdose on any of the B vitamins. Or should you routinely leave a gap between each bottle please.

Many thanks Lemondrizz.

I have seen advice on other platforms about a 4 month on/2 month off protocol, but I believe this is to prevent an excessive intake of B6 which only seems to be a problem with the pyridoxine form of that vitamin. I think there is a growing awareness that this form can build up and eventually cause problems. So better to find a supplement with the pyridoxal 5 phosphate form, and in my understanding you can take a B complex containing that on a continuous daily maintenance basis. But there are others more expert on this forum, so I hope they will correct me if I've misunderstood!

Thank you Myoldcat - really helpful -

I have had some strange symptoms and was trying to work out what might be causing these - so was looking to see if maybe the BComplex that might be causing the problems ? I will do as you suggest and stop them for a couple of months and see if things change during that time ? Grateful for your help.

I am taking Lipsomal Vitamin B Complex with B6 as Pyridoxine Hydrochloride

I take this one as it has Folate and not Folic Acid which I have been recommended.

THORNE basic B complex contains B6 as P5P plus methyl forms of folate.
