I think b1 is back at vitacost

People from outside the US haven’t been able to order it for a while but I think it’s back. Please let me know what you see if you aren’t in the US

It seems you are right.

[LAJ12345 in reply to ion_ion]

You are in the US aren’t you? It’s outside the US that it hasn’t been available last week.

[ion_ion in reply to LAJ12345]

I'm in Canada now but my phone has a US #. When I used the PC I could not order but when I used the phone I could. Now is working with both.

Thanks!

I was able to order two bottles the other day.

[LAJ12345 in reply to davissw]

You are in the US though? It is just outside the US that seems to be affected lately.

what strength do you use ? how many - how many times a day ?

[Hidden in reply to windhorsepixy]

Basic (B) - (1) 1nstructions. B1 in the form of thiamine hcl is required for HDT (high dose thiamine) therapy.

Regarding thiamine hcl, it is not a cure. It is at its best supporting carbidopa levodopa. Solgar tablets are choke hazard. Find capsules as they are easy swallow.

Doctor Costantini directed:

Early or mild symptoms - 2 grams daily.

Moderate symptoms - 4 grams daily.

Severe symptoms - 6 grams daily.

Divide into two equal doses. Take first dose at breakfast. Take second before lunch.

I

Before starting with full dose take a small amount and watch for any allergic reaction.

Thanks - I want him to try again - hwp symptoms worsening - 500 1xd ok to start or 2x day ? What allergic symptoms to look for ?

[Hidden in reply to windhorsepixy]

Will 1/8 of the therapeutic dose be effective?

[LAJ12345 in reply to windhorsepixy]

We started 1 for a few days then 2 then 3 then 4 over a few weeks. Tried to go higher and he got more anxious so eventually settled on 3. 2 at breakfast, 1 at lunch. Not too late in the day or it can affect sleep. He took 3 a day for 18 months or so but cut back to 2 a day when he was anxious again then down to 1. Now on 1 1/2 (actually 1 then 2 next day, then 1.. to make it easy). He just felt “worse” when dose needed adjusting down or up.

[windhorsepixy in reply to LAJ12345]

Ok - excuse my ignorance - but I'm assuming you mean "1" gram ? ("2,3,4") ? The caps RoyProp is suggesting are 500mg, so I'm trying to figure this. Hoping they are not gigantic as he can have a hard time swallowing. Can I ask - what symptom shifts do you see with it ?

[LAJ12345 in reply to windhorsepixy]

Sorry, I mean 500mg capsules from vitacost. I wasn't clear. They are largish but gel caps this size are not too hard to swallow unlike some hard tablets. So he tried 500mg, 1g up to 2 g. I know Roy was taking 4 g but we never got that high. I think it varies for each individual.
