Thanks, Larry,
My God, you should write a book. That stuff is fascinating to me!
> People can have enzyme or transporter defects that require far more than usual concentrations of B-vitamins (as activating co-factors) to work properly, and many people find that high-dose (i.e. many multiples of the RDA) B-vitamins help to overcome those defects.
<<Interesting. One of the things my doc said was that long-term birth control pill use could deplete my body of Vitamin Bs....is that the same thing? More like the hormones or whatever are messing up enzyme or transporters?>>e.g. B-6, developing neuropathies (tingling and numbness in the extremities, reversible on discontinuation)
<<I've had that on occasion in my hands. I can't positively link it specifically to the Bs, to bad posture at my desk, or to having gained weight (although now that my weight is back down, I don't have any tingling).
>>What you'll do is give your tissues three chances a day, instead of one, to take up the vitamins in the blood before the kidneys let them trickle away.
<<Cool. I like that.Thanks again,
Susan
