What do you think about the strategy of taking all bs? Can we short circuit it by mega dosing b2?
I’m just concerned taking all the bs will lower my copper in the short term.
Thanks for the info. Very interesting.Some more interesting results, B's take a long time to replenish:
First try at Active Protocol and have questions.
@Helen user on phoenix rising states the thiamine HCl and thiamine mononitrate are useless to raise B1, and suggests lipothiamine is the way to go.
Any thoughts on this?
Another review on B1:
"I was confirmed B1 deficient via SpectraCell Micronutrient testing. We tried for 6 months to fix the deficiency with Thiamine Hcl and thiamine mononitrate. For several months I was taking 400 mg of these two forms, but my inter cellular B1 status never improved. I switched to TTFD Lipothiamine which supposedly bypasses some transport steps and it worked. After 3 months my B1 status is very healthy using 400 mg of Lipothiamine per day. Some of my chronic symptoms appear to be lifting very very slowly. "
I think this is why 1600mg on B1 is the recommended dosage for Thiamine HCL per day, systems needs to be saturated for transport to pick up. lower doses are useless unless it is lipothiamine that bypasses transport...
Thanks for the info. Very interesting.
@Helen Should I wait for my b1 and b2 results before starting any b vitamin protocols?
If I were to start taking bs, should I start off with just b1 and b2 or even just one of them?
Just been thinking as I wait for my results.
Let’s assume my b1 and b2 come back low.
I didn’t get the other bs tested but a lot of them would likely be low.
My issue is I need to raise my copper. Won’t taking the bs lower my copper? Or is it a necessary evil to lower the copper first by taking bs before it will go higher once the bs have increased?
Or is there only one b vitamin, like say b2, that I need to take which will allow copper to go up. And then when copper is up, I can either supplement the others or my stomach acid will be up then and I can get them from my diet?
@Helen
Right thanks. And if it’s due to copper being too low, how do we get that up? When my hair test is good and bloods are good.Troy, we need to see the reason why cortisol is raised
Cortisol rises to get inflammation down, or to get amino acids into the blood.
So it can be raised since you had low stomach acid, or it can be raised since histamine is too high
HIstamines can be too high, since you have lacking copper, or b6 or vitamin C, or histidine. or magnesium
B6 is made by B2.
This is why we have to make sure, is it copper or b2 which is rising your cortisol.
Cortisol was wasting your potassium. thus potassium helps you , but now we have to lower cortisol, otherwise it will waste potassium again.
The nutrients I wrote above needed . But which one is the limiting the the question.
This is why the complete electrolytes protocol would have recovered you already to 100%.
Another possibility that your CORTISOL was too sensitive before. FInasteride made cortisol and AR too much. And thus you have low DHT and was wasting potassium.
