Side effects of jarrow b - right complex

[ThyroidObsessed]

So i took one of these and have come out in a flushed rash on chest and neck, iv read its the niacin reaction...

Im sick of being so sensitive to everything..

Im just desperate to get rid of my depression and anxiety and feel normal again without anti depressants! 😣

Are your B12 and folate low? You could try a different brand with less niacin.

[ThyroidObsessed in reply to Nanaedake]

Last b12 check it was at 629 (197- 771)

Folate 9.0 (2.0- 18.7)

Ferritin 27.1 (20.0- 130.0)

??

Also having tingling sensations now ...

I have taken taking the jarrods b12 lozenges before with no side effects...

[Nanaedake in reply to ThyroidObsessed]

Your B12 is fine now but ferritin is too low. What about vit D? It could be low ferritin causing tingling maybe. Ferritin is best above 70 to mid range.

[ThyroidObsessed in reply to Nanaedake]

My vitamin D is at 100...

My b12 was 326 and folate and ferritin were lower too, but i started 1000mcg b12 lozenges 100 days ago and also started eating liver once a week which obviously raised the levels.. but have only took the b complex as above today which caused a rash and tingling that has now subsided.. will my body get used to them is it dangerous if i have a reaction... how do i raise my ferritin?

Baring in mind these results were from august so could be higher now with the b12 lozenges and eating liver once a week!?..

[Nanaedake in reply to ThyroidObsessed]

Eating liver will raise iron and ferritin stores. No more than 200g a week due to high vitamin A content. Best not to take tablets that cause a reaction. Try something else, another brand with less niacin.

[Nanaedake in reply to ThyroidObsessed]

Vit D at 100nmol is good.

Try Swanson activated b complex. They also have high potency activated b complex. I have major issues with cheap synthetic B6 so I feel for you.

[ThyroidObsessed in reply to RobinAnn]

I may have to, will side effects subside if i take them everyday, this is only day one? ...

[ThyroidObsessed in reply to RobinAnn]

These were expensive!?

[RobinAnn in reply to ThyroidObsessed]

I always have to have my supplements shipped in from UK so expensive is a relative term...I have no choice. The shipping is what gets me. But synthetic vitamins are always cheaper then anything higher in quality. As a good low cost option try Brewers yeast. Really good source of B vitamins unless you have a yeast allergy. I hope your reaction improves quickly.

[RobinAnn]

Tingling can come from many things. Several low B vitamins for example... B6, B9 and B12. If, in the future you still need B12 or folate check out Neamin B12 plus folate nasal. One of the best delivery systems after shots. Better absorption then most other forms and it's not synthetic cynocobalamin or folic acid. I too have iron issues at the moment but eating liver😶 no thanks.😂

Igennus Super B complex is good. Full daily dose is two tablets (one am and one pm)

Small tablets. You can take just one .....or even half of one

[ThyroidObsessed in reply to SlowDragon]

Thanks i have just bought a good b complex from holland and barret and havent had any reaction from it today x

[bestbuddy]

I have this brand and I have come out in a rash on two occasions. You’re right, it is a niacin flush. You can remedy this by taking it with food. Since this happened to me, I only ever take it with food - usually a bowl of cereal and milk in the mornings.

I just posted about these I was recommended them and they were expensive but I started itching and for 6 hours it got worse I've taken 2 antihistamines now and still itching I am shocked at such an extreme reaction and mad I've wasted so much money.

I don't know if I'm allowed but if anyone wants these off me if they cover the postage ill send them out
