B complex armpit smell

[Samyo]

Whats the deal with armpit smell from B complex? Like B/O / Onion/sulfer smell I begin to smell it when Im warm/slight sweat, localised in my armpits

Is it the choline or B1 or something else?

@Samyo
I wouldn't be surprised if it were the b1 since thiamine has a sulfur atom in the molecule

@Samyo @tea B1 and B7 contain sulfur. I'd guess that you have a mild sulfur intolerance. Most dietary sulfur should be converted to sulfate, but if you have an overgrowth of Hydrogen Sulfide producing bacteria more sulfur would be converted to sulfite instead.

Im off the B complex now, and Im back on eggs, same thing armpits smell the same as the B complex, sulfur/onion like...no B1 in eggs? Mainly B7?

@Samyo Eggs have high sulfur, generally sulfur intolerance can happen because of a molybdenum deficiency. You could test and see if you have the same reaction to other high sulfur foods. Or it could be something else of course
