Recommend me a B-50 complex

[jksl]

Can anyone recommend me a good B-50 complex? What brands do you recommend? Are there any brands that offer methylcobalamin instead of cyanocobalamin for the B-12?

jksl - This one has many advantages, including the active form of folate, L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid and of course the methyl form of B12.

Perfect. Thanks for the reply!

They don't seem to sell that one anymore. Which to use now?

CS,

Is there some controversy over folic acid or folate? My Dr. mentioned something about it to me when I was talking about different views on iodine in regard to AIT. She was basically pointing out that there isn't a consensus. She gave me the reference sheet for that iodine article BTW, and there are some studies from 2006, 2007, 2008. It is in PDF form, or I would cut and paste them. Sorry I'm going off topic here, but she had Dr. Abrahm's book- 'Iodine, Why you need it....' right there on the shelf in her office. She is familiar with him and Dr. Brownstien and has still come to the conclusion that iodine is not safe in AIT. I was impressed and curious at the same time. I have more faith in her abilities now. If you want that reference page pdf let me know.

JHarsh80 - A certain percentage of the population will get no benefit from synthetic folic acid. Instead, they need folate from food sources or can opt for Methyltetrahydrofolic.

Sure, go ahead and paste the PDF link.

Here you go CS. They are actually jpg's.

Looking at it again, it looks like the latest studies are from 2006. My mistake.

[CausticSymmetry]

JHarsh80 - I took at look at the references with respect to iodine and TPO, AIT, and none of the results were comprehensive in any form that would suggest any worry.

Assuming that Dr. Abraham and Brownstein are correct, an overwhelming number of patients do better on high dose iodine with AIT.

JHarsh80 - The second set of studies I noticed were related to low thyroid and grain consumption. Just another reason to watch out for wheat/gluten consumption.

Thanks CS,

I tend to think that Dr. A and B are probably correct, if for no other reason than it seems as you've stated before that the popularly held opinion or belief is almost always the wrong one. I see support for this everyday. It is amazing how people can become so programed to not use their own critical thinking skills.

That's good to know about the wheat. I am on a gluten free diet now and been taking 2 of these at night before bed for about a week now. The measurement units are semi-confusing with the dpp4 enzymes. How would you compare these to the NOW? http://www.iherb.com/Enzymedica-GlutenEase-Digestive-60-Capsules/6279?at=0

[JHarsh80]

CS,

How do I bring those studies up myself if I were to want to? Is there a free way to do it? I know that some studies are free and others are not. What is the best search engine or website to find studies that's free?

Is it safe taking B50 and B100? Silly question but I look at the contents and some ingredients are over 6000 times the recommended daily allowance. Wouldn't this cause negative side effects? I take a Vitamin B supplement but it's only at 100% recommended daily allowance.
