The if's, and's, or but's of B-Vitamin Taking
Why Can't I Just Say, "Here, Take This !" ?
Because There Are So Many Variables
Nutrients work together. B Vitamins
work together. Must take SOME of ALL B vitamins or they won't
work right. |
(Will be adding more info on each vitamin:
range, take with food, when to take for
depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, fatigue, sleep etc.)
Take B-vitamins together ! This is very
important. It's not going to harm you directly, but the B-vitamins
just don't work right without at least some of
all the B-vitamins in the same day, but better at the same time. And
eventually you could create a deficiency. I have abused this
rule because of my sensitive stomach*
and faulty digestion but finally realize
just how much better I felt when I include them all. |

What amounts will help you ? Although I take rather high
doses of some of the vitamins, that doesn't mean you need to jump
right into that. Let's hope you don't need as much as I do.
Just these amounts could possibly be enough
for some lucky individuals. Why take more than you need
to feel good. You should notice improvements in a day or
so, and more improvements as other nutrients are restored. B-vitamins
are water-soluable and act quickly, while some minerals take
more time to build up. Yet minerals like calcium and magnesium are
quick acting for calming your nerves, sleeping.
It would help a lot to get Dr. Larson's
book and read the personality / symptom check lists. This
could help you figure out your needs faster. She is treating
real depressed patients in her clinic everyday.
And there are other doctors who
use the same kind of treatment concept who have books, web sites,
and clinics. My special
clinics page is old and needs updating, but you might find
more info there for your locale. |
How well will you tolerate supplements ? |
Will you need digestive aids or gut
healing ? |
*When taking vitamins, it does matter what you eat, when you
eat, & how much you eat.
- My husband has an iron stomach. He can take lots of
pills with just a little food and it doesn't upset his stomach. He
does it every day.
- Others of us need to eat enough of the right stuff (varies
by the individual) to cover the vitamins, coat the tummy, and
leave room for the vitamins, and water to take the vitamins.
- After 4 years on a low carb diet, I figured out that
I really must eat some higher carb whole grain item,
like bread, or oats, or even the occasionally spagetti
from last night's dinner. For me, eggs and B-vitamins,
just don't work well - even a gooey, buttery, cheesey
omelet with bread too. I like eggs, I eat them
when I can, but they just don't allow me to get down
enough of the B-vitamins I desperately need. What
happens ? - an aweful kind of sick headache and
nausea that is hard to shake. The day can be ruined.
- I would like to spare you this kind of day, but the
only way you will know is by experience.
- I can take these B-vitamins any time, with almost no
food: Niacin, Niacinamide, Inositol, B-5, maybe
Choline.
- I have to be very careful with B-1, B-2, B-6, Biotin
and PABA
