Vitamin B
QUESTIONS: notes found for further research Folic acid apparently converted in the large intestines from B12?
Apparently has some function on mood.
B3 is not actually a vitamin, but an amino acid, derived from tryptophan in the body?
And that this is helpful for depression and anxiety, as well as other disorders.
HISTAMINE William Walsh (see his book Nutrient Power) uses inosital as part of a supplement package to treat depression, when the patient has low histamine levels in a blood test. The most important part of his treatment, when there is depression and low histamine, is folate/B12.
He uses SAMe/methione to treat patients with high levels of histamine.

Types
B1 Thiamin
is particularly important for the normal functioning of nerves. It is necessary for the synthesis of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter which affects several brain functions including memory, and also maintains muscle tone of the stomach, intestines and heart.
is involved in energy production and carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism
Magnesium is necessary for the conversion of thiamin to its active form. Vitamin C helps improve thiamin absorption.

B 12
Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient. Much info here. Needs to be re=read and posted
Uses
B 12 also plays a role in the body's manufacture of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe).Anemia is usually (but not always) the first sign of B 12 deficiency.
"pernicious anemia" for a stubborn form of anemia that did not improve even when the patient was given iron supplements. Today we know that pernicious anemia comes about when the stomach fails to excrete a special substance called intrinsic factor. The body needs the intrinsic factor for efficient absorption of vitamin B 12. In 1948, vitamin B 12 was identified as the cure for pernicious anemia. B 12 deficiency also causes nerve damage, and this may, in some cases, occur without anemia first developing.The vitamin B 12 in our food comes attached to proteins and must be released by acid in the stomach in order to be absorbed.
mild deficiencies of vitamin B 12 may cause elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood
Mild B 12 deficiency (too slight to cause anemia) may also impair brain function.
Another option is to take extra calcium, which may, in turn, improve B 12 absorption.

Chemar's post
in addition to getting all the Bs from his multi (jarrow multi easy powder mix) my son has always also taken extra B12 (has to be methyl b12 not cyano) and B6 (he takes P-5-P form)
also takes Inositol vit B8 daily
he used to also take extra B1 (thiamine)
and when he had bruxism tic, he took extra B5(pantothenic acid) as it is good for teeth tics
the B's are generally important in neurological functioning
I personally think B6 and B12 are most important re tics for my son, with the Inositol being good for his OCD/anxiety, but at the same time, I know he needs his daily multi with the other B's in as well ,for all to function together correctly
if you take a look at Bonnie Grimaldi's ingredients you will see the B's she has specifically included in her TS-plus
MethylB12 supposedly has a self-limiting absorption rate of 1.5-1.6 mcg per dose (per wikipedia http://en.wikipedia....iki/Vitamin_B12) i
