Greetings All,

I need to get a new supply of Magnesium and B12. I have not taken B Complex before , however have been advised to.

My Current Dosage:

1. Magnesium Citrate 400 mg at night.

2. Vitamin B12 2000 ug at lunch.

I last had my bloods done on 16th January 2020. I am due a new full thyroid panel through Medi-checks , however have been advised to hold off on testing during this period.

My last lab results :

I only have for the Vitamin B12 Active.

1.) 150 pmol/L (Range : 37.5 pmol/L - 187.5 pmol/L )

Any advice on brands and if I should take B complex please. I have attached what I was using :)

Thank you in advance.

Two good brands of B Complex recommended here are

Thorne Basic B

Igennus Super B

Both have the bioavailable forms of the active ingredients.

You no longer need the B12 supplement, there will be enough B12 in the B Complex to maintain your level, you wont need your B12 level any higher than it is.

Don't forget that when supplementing with D3 we should retest twice a year to ensure we keep within the recommended range of 100-150nmol/L.
