Re: Question about b vitamins

[Guest guest]

The best I can recommend is Dr. Bob Marshall in Round Rock Texas. His

products are the best and he formulates a lot of what he sells and

carries. I use them all the time and love them, especially the digestive

line.

His liquid B is a NanoBcomplex. Here is the web site and you can call

them and give orders over the phone. They are very courteous and

helpful.

The other b vitamin products that I have seen at the local health food

other things that I don't want. If I could get powder form or a liquid

form of the individual b vitamins that would be good too. I did try a

liquid form of a b complex from Radiant Life but is has an alcohol base.

I asked the vitamin people at both stores what they could recommend but

I would recommend going with Now Foods low heat dried dessicated liver with fat

still in it. Each serving is an oz of liver. It is the best source of b-vitamins

you can get.

Hello,

Can anyone suggest a good supplier of b vitamin products? I had found a good

product with most of the b vitamins. It is Country Life and it seemed good

because it was in powder form and it had some part of the b6 in PHP form.

However it had a small amount of ALA which I do not want. The other b vitamin

products that I have seen at the local health food store or at whole foods are

Thanks for your information and .

Regarding liver and B vitamins... If I cook liver am I losing all the benefits

of the B vitamins? We have eaten cooked liver before but I always wondered how

much value there is if it is cooked. I also wonder about whether liver (cooked

or dried) is considered a glandular which would have hormonal properties. I

know that this discussion has deviated from B vitamins but I just had to ask!

This liver in particular was low heat dried. The only thing removed was the

water content in it.

Liver is by far the best source of the full spectrum of b vitamins. It also

helps that this supplement is cheap and contains no additives.

I'm wary of Argentinian sources of liver, which most liver supplements are. The

ground water is contaminated with arsenic. AnnMarie @ Cheeseslave has an old

post about this due to the fact that she had high levels of arsenic in her

system.

I doubt 1 oz of liver a day will lead to arsenic poisoning. If you're concerned

maybe look into using zeolite and modifilan supplements for metal detox. DE

would probably work too.

Thorne has several options for B vitamins (with emphasis on different ones),

and they do tend towards the active forms. I'd recommend looking into

them.

Hi,

I don't have any trust in NOW brand. I was taking their betaine HCl for

years, when a friend told me his doctor tested his supplements (he's sick)

and the lab found that NOW betaine HCl was contaminated with 3 heavy metals.

The only specific one I remember for sure is nickel.

He said that he thinks the info was sent to the NYC poison control dept. and

that NOW is under investigation.

Their products tend to be very cheap and I would imagine that is largely

because the raw materials are low quality, and would guess a lot of it comes

from China. China's a big wholesaler of supplement ingredients.

With supplements, for the most part, I think you get what you pay for...

Liver is cheap as it is. It's taken from the same place as more expensive liver

supplements. Argentina.

It's cheap because it's a powder. This is good though as there are no additives.

I called the company and they dry it at 90 degrees for 9 hours.

If you can name another liver powder supplement that is just as good or better I

would appreciate it. For some reason they usually defat the liver. The

dessicated liver WAPF promotes is only in capsule form and thus is far more

expensive. Now's liver cost 1/6th the amount.

Dr. Ron's (www.drrons.com) liver powder is from NZ and is additive-free,

but not cheap like NOW. I bet Nutricology also has liver powder as well and

they get glandulars from NZ and are usually reasonably priced.
