Vitamin B complexes.

Posted by bigjohnscho @bigjohnscho, Jun 25, 2024

I take a vit B complex capsule everyday for my PN. Lately I learned that some of the vitamins are not in their most bioavailable form, for example B1 thiamine should be Benfotiamine and B12 must be methylcobalim. Has any one sussed this problem out.

I have been doing B12 injections weekly and niacin orally. My B12 is still under 120 and B3 (niacin) is undetectable.
I'm now doing injections daily and increased my niacin dose.
Post Covid I have been diagnosed with EPI pancreatic insufficiency so taking pancreatic enzymes I'm hoping will help me with absorption.
It's like a merry go round.
