> Folic Acid. Can you get it in tablets on its own? I think in Australia it is available in 5mg tabs on script. 800mcg with every meal is OK.
I do get the tablets (400mcg); so you're saying it's okay to take 2400/day?? I also get 400 mcgs in my B-Complex (see below). Are there symptoms I should be aware of if I'm taking too much?
> B6. We forgot this. In order to avoid peripheral nerve toxicity keep doses of this below 500mg/d. (Sounds like a lot eh?)
> B12. Do you just take this to prevent anaemia which can be masked by the folic acid?? You won't take too much of that anyway.
> B complex. To cover the above B vits.The B-complex I am taking now includes the following co-factors: 100 mg each of B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, PABA, Choline and Inositol, and 100 mcg of B12 and Biotin, plus the aforementioned 400 mcg of Folic Acid. The reason I'm taking this, at least I think so, is also to reduce stress. Do you have any better suggestions, for instance, should I take the Bs separately? This just seems like a good way, and cheaper, to get everything in one.
> All of this information is what I remember from the LEF.....www.lef.org. They have protocols there.
Thank you, I will check out this site.
> I dunno anything about cholesterol and red yeast. I did take the guggul thingo for a bit. There is some suggestion that in aging peple the increase in cholesterol is your body's attempt to counter falling hormone levels.
I believe I have heard this before too. I refused to take any HRT prescribed pills. Is there something natural to help combat falling hormone levels?
Much obliged again, Declan.
