Re: OT: B vitamins (separate or complex) for ADHD and/or possible oxalate proble

I think I heard somewhere that too much Folic Acid could be harmful, plus if the

body has to dump the other excesses, it's more work for what, in our kids'

systems, is often an already overtaxed toxin-cleaning system, so I'm hesitant to

give too much. At the same time, I've read that the RDA is often grossly

insufficient for our kids, due to their various metabolic issues.

RDA was grossly insufficient for my son. I had to give massive amounts of most

B vitamins for at least a year, and for some of the Bs, longer than a year.

Extra B6 would need magnesium. You would want to increase the magnesium if she

started showing signs of deficiency with the current dose. If it is part of the

cal/mag, it is likely that most or all of the mag is being used for the

absorption of the calcium, so not much would be left over for the B6 and/or any

other supps that require magnesium.

Seeing your on the subject of B vitamins....

Gotta few questions pertaining to them. We just did an organic acids test which

showed huge deficiencies in our 11 yr. old son, of B vitamins, folic acid,

glutethione,vitamin C, magnesium, selenium and zinc.

I added 1 capsule a day of Pure Encapsulations B6 complex, to our son's already

huge daily vitamin regimen which contains,

Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Palmitate) 15 mg

Thiamine HCI (B1) 100 mg

Riboflavin (B2) 5 mg

Riboflavin 5' Phosphate (Activiated B2) 10 mg

Niacinamide 100 mg

Inositol Hexaniacinate (No-Flush Niacin) 10 mg

Pyridoxine HCI (B6) 250 mg

Pyridoxal 5' Phosphate (Activiated B6) 10 mg

Folic Acid 400 mcg

Methylcobalamin (B12) 400 mcg

Biotin 400 mcg

Pantothenic Acid (Calcium Pantothenate) (B5) 100 mg

Since I've added these he cannot fall asleep at night, high fears and anxiety as

well as some uncommon stuttering while speaking.

He was already taking daily krill (1000 mg. Mercola), probiotics 66 billion

cfu's(Mercola), 500 mg. glycine by Pure, 250 mg. vit. C by metagentics and CoQ10

100 mg. (Ubiquinol) Mercola brand.

Any help would be appreciated!

Reduce the dose and add magnesium and yeast control. Many kids need B6 but have

problems with it. It tends to cause problems for kids with phenol issues, and

it definitely tends to increase yeast.

Thanks Dana! Can I just add biotin or yeast cleanse?

I just stopped the B Complex and I'm afraid to start it up again. I did see his

anxiety subside a bit.

So the yeast is always going to be an issue while on the B vitamins?

Thanks again for your help!

Try that, see if it helps.

Probably. I had to fight yeast until several of my son's biomedical issues were

resolved.
