B VITAMINS ARE VITAL. I did not recover from Hashi's til I took individual B vitamins
DO YOU REALLY NEED ALL 8 B VITAMINS? Most medical students are taught that people do not need vitamins and supplements. If you eat a balanced diet, they are told, you get all of the nutrients needed. I was told this in medical school and it is still the mantra being disseminated decades later. The

Will homocysteine blood test be accurate after stopping B12 supplements for only a week?
Hi Everyone! I'm new to the group. I'm in the midst of trying to convince my doctor that I have a B12 deficiency. My B12 blood serum level was in the "normal" range in 2014 and 2016. My peripheral neuropathy has improved greatly since taking subligual B12 for 45 days, averaging 12,000 mcg/day. I'm

Drinkable B12
I want to try my husband on B12 just to see if it helps his constant tiredness - he's been prescribed iron tablets but they seem to be increasing his iron stocks painfully slowly with no improvement in energy levels so far (more than 6 months). My question is, as he's elderly and taking PPIs, would it

There is a treatment
Watching programme on tv about restless legs. Difficult to watch so much suffering. My neurologist is a specialist in sleep disturbances and treats my restless legs with iron tablets. The brain of people with restless legs seems to need more iron which works as a co-enzyme on the dopamine system. The

Hi everyone.... just wanted some advice really, I recently had some private blood tests done through Medichecks and my vitamin B12 level came back as 49.6, I was advised by seaside Susie that anything under 70 would really warrant further investigation and she advised to get a Methylmalonic test.

New Member - Query re. B12 Injections Stopping B12 Getting To Cells Unless Serum B12 High
Hello, I'd be grateful if someone could help me with this query. I read in a recent post that B12 shots could cause problems with B12 getting into cells unless serum levels were very high. Is this due to sensitisation of the cells because of the huge level of B12 in the bloodstream for some time following

Supplements and blood test levels along with over 50 and iron question
I’ve searched the forum, but haven’t been able to find much regarding over age 50 and iron. I would appreciate any input. I’m 55 years old and have Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism. I have supplemented with iron and a high level multivitamin with iron for years. I have just now dropped the iron supplement
