Since I'm ingesting allot of B12 from food, beside the 8oz of liver I have weekly I also eat 1lb of beef heart as well, plus 3 eggs daily, do you think adding more B12 with a B-complex once or twice weekly can be an issue?

it seems like the products I like they also contain the B12, beside Energin and the B-complex from Forefront

@wester130 I know this company. It looks good, I like it since it doesn't have B12 in it. However it doesn't have the B5 in it though, which I think it can be helpful for adrenal hormone production.

@Corngold I didn't really retain much info on Citric Acid, I heard Georgi talking about it many times in a negative way as cancer promoter, perhaps Ray Peat has some article or interview about it.

@CrumblingCookie said in B-complex and or Multi recommendation?:

Source Naturals "Coenzymate" B Complex

thanks for the suggestion. However, this product contain cellulose gum and magnesium stearate.

B vitamins can actually accumulate and stay in circulations for days, but it makes sense to take a small dose more often, perhaps it is not necessary though

interesting study about P5P, I may just stay away from Energin, too expensive also I believe.

Alani energy

I just took a quick look at it, there is citric acid in it.

@albion

thank you very much for the info.

I do remember now the methylated b9 and b12 form being better for some reason, thanks for the reminding me about that.

I used life extension two per day for years, for the low cost and activated b's, and it made me think now if I was actually experiencing some side effects you mentioned, as I have being off for over a week and I fall a sleep better, but feel more sleepy during the day though.

I'm checking again the products you recommended, thanks again.

@albion thank you!

do you know if its always better to get the methylated version, even when there is not MTHFR mutation gene?

@LucH

interesting. Another reason why some brilliant people recommend to take B complex only once or twice per week. Paul Jaminett would recommend as well B-50 once per week.

wouldn't it be better to use an activated B-complex at all times?

@Serotoninskeptic I think I benefit from taking once or twice per week some B-complex, and I think it may be a good idea to get some extra Selenium, manganese, molybdenum and chromium due to the unsure content of these in food, perhaps copper too.

do you know what is the general idea in the peat world about supplementing with minerals? is some mineral recommended beside Magnesium and Calcium if dairy is not eaten?

@16charactersitis Energin looks good, I like the fact that doesn't have any b12 or folate. Pricy though.

Do you take any minerals supplement? I used to use life extension multivitamin, just a capsule a couple of times per week.
