Basic B Complex

Good Morning

My 8 week thyroid blood test has been delayed due to the bank holiday rescheduled for Wed 28th Sept.

I have noticed a huge improvement in my fatigue, muscle weakness and loss of hair since I have been supplementing with Thorne Basic B Complex and B12. I can now do 10,000 + steps quite easily and dont feel like collapsing into bed afterwards.

I was wondering should I continue supplementing with the Thorne Basic B Complex as I only have a few left and just continue with the B12. I am waiting on a call back from GP later today and I am going to request that they test vitamins with the blood draw on Wed.

I know they will only test the TSH but will try and persuade them to test the FT4 and FT3 as well. If they dont I will pay to have these done privately.

Thank you for reading 😂🙏🏻😂

If you take B12 as a stand alone supplement then you need to take a B Complex to keep all the B vitamins balanced.

I would test B12. If Total B12 is over 550ng/L (or pg/ml) or Active B12 is over 100 then you don't need to take B12, the amount in the Thorne Basic B will be enough.
