Vitamin B Complex

[Carri3]

G'day everyone, hope you're all doing well I would appreciate your advice on the following question - I read somewhere that we should have a break from taking vitamin B complex, would this apply to us thyroid sufferers and if so, for how long?

Hiya Carri3, my endocrinologist advised me to take a weeks break around every 4 months from all the vitamins and recommended supplements I take including the B complex. It works for me and keeps me in all the recommended ranges advised here.

Thank You for your response Elisabeth41, I will certainly do this also.🙂

It’s not something I’d do unless my levels were in excellent shape

my GP asked me to stop everything for two weeks a few months ago. Worst idea ever. She actually apologised and said on reflection that was unnecessary and it’s taken months & £££ to get back up where I was.

I think for me the correct approach is to test and adjust and to go to maybe twice a week or every other day. Or maybe once a week. But it does depend on conditions for me, stress, exertion, flu, cycle, allergies , intolerance reactions, season all adjust my absorption and needs. Moving goal posts 🥅🥅🥅

If you are curious try one week and see how you feel, you can experiment 🔬 🧫 🧪

Thanks for your reply R, this sounds like good advice, I will cut it down to 3 times a week rather.
