It is part of die-off . It will eventually subside. I have tried both the yeast flakes and b complex and the reactions are pretty much the same. Remember to avoid eating 3 hours prior to your bedtime. This might help you sleep better and make sure you're taking the correct supplements. Here is the link to the B vitamins and supplements that Bee recommends just in case. > http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/supp1.php We can do this Theresa! kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 > > Hi Bee, Is it alright to up my vitamin b intake to 100mg twice per day. My body seems to be craving more nutrients lately. I feel like I could use more cod liver oil than the recommended 2 tablespoons and vitamin e as well. I have been hesitant to up any to avoid throwing things off balance. What is the upper limit intake for these? +++Hi . " More is not better, " except for shorter periods of time to assist your body as I've recommended for people in certain situations. Yes, upping one or two supplements over others does throw off balances. Basically you would not increase any amounts of any supplements because these are the basics, and your body does not require more in order to heal itself naturally. Your body is smart enough to balance out all of its nutrient levels as it heals itself. Also if you increase one thing it means you would also need to take more of other supplements that can be affects, so playing around with supplements amounts isn't helpful at all.

Until your thyroid status is corrected, energy supplements or stimulants will at best mask some of your symptoms and may actually do some harm, even megadoses of the relatively innocuous B vitamins, if taken regularly. OTOH, if you have a problem absorbing these nutrients, you may need to take shots. Look for pernicious anemia. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 B Vitamins May Lower Heart Disease Risk By Jo Cavallo Heart disease is common and deadly, but you can avoid it. Find out how these vitamins could be heart saviors. A Japanese study has found that dietary intakes of folate and vitamin B6 reduces the risk of dying from stroke and any cardiovascular disease in women and may lower the risk for heart disease in men. The researchers analyzed data from over 23,000 men and over 35,600 women, ages 40 to 79, who answered food frequency questionnaires. When the study subjects were followed up at a median of 14 years, researchers found that 986 participants died from stroke, 424 died from coronary heart disease and 2,087 died from any cardiovascular disease. The analysis also showed that higher levels of folate and vitamin B6 were associated with significantly fewer deaths from heart failure in men and significantly fewer deaths from stroke, heart disease and any cardiovascular diseases in women. Intake of vitamin B12 did not show a reduction in mortality risk. The researchers speculated that consumption of higher levels of folate and vitamin B6 might be heart protective because they reduce levels of homocysteine in the blood. Homocysteine is an amino acid in the blood. Studies have shown that too much homocysteine in the blood is related to a higher risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements, clinical trials are underway to test whether dietary supplements with folic acid, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 decreases homocysteine levels and reduces coronary heart disease risk. Some studies are also showing a link between low blood levels of folate and higher rates of breast, pancreatic and colon cancers. How to Increase Vitamin B in Your Diet Although the general recommended dietary allowance of folate acid from supplements is 400 micrograms a day and the risk of toxicity from taking too much folate acid is low, before adding folate acid, vitamin B6 or vitamin B12 supplements to your diet, talk with your doctor about what the right amount is for you. To eat a folate-rich diet, choose these foods: Asparagus, avocado, corn and dark green leafy vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, spinach, collard greens and turnip greens Legumes, such as lentils, dried beans and peas, including black-eye peas and black, pinto kidney and navy beans and peanuts Fruits like strawberries, cantaloupe, bananas, oranges and orange juice Baked potato Eggs Beets Iceberg and romaine lettuce Sources: National Institute of Health Suzi List Owner health What is a weed?

I think it is still important to take the niacin supplement. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
