First Cycle - Standard Protocol

[DeeCee112]

B Vitamins in oral form need to be methylated otherwise you are paying to have darker urine.

If Vitamin D is supplemented, it requires Vitamin K2 (approx 100mcg) and Magnesium (any kind but oxide). Without all 3 the Vitamin d just causes calcium to be leeched from your bones.

Yeah my vitamin D has K2 and I take magnesium as well, just started oxide now which I know is less absorb able but I have a bottle and I'm don't like wasting things.

Do you have a suggested dose for the IM b12? I agree totally with you on that which is why I don't waste money on multivitamins.

Magnesium Oxide has a bioavailability of about 5-8%. At 150mg per capsule for example, best case scenario is your body actualizes 12mg of the 150, assuming the capsule dose even matches the label. It's also the only form of magnesium that has been linked to negative repercussions to the human body. To put it into perspective, a bag of kale/spinach is going to have more magnesium than the entire bottle of MgOxide.

I stopped using IM B12 when I switched to activated B Complex and found it to be substantially better. The broscience dose of IM B12 1000mcg/day

Hm got it. So ditch the mag oxide it's that bad eh.
1000mcg per day seems awfully excessive?

Worked for me. The IM B12 is from Zandoz or w/e the company is called over the counter at shoppers rexall etc. It's still the non methylated form of B12 so could be injecting daily for mediocre benefit.

I think I fire this bottle and then switch to a methylated b12 tab. Doesnt being methylated make it hard on your liver?

Methylated means it's already gone through the process of converting from inactive to active form. Easier and actually usuable by the body. B Complex is superior to a single B vitamin.

If you are getting sick that often it's still going to be best to get a functional medicine lab panel run from an N.D. to fix the underlying root causes.

The gut problems will translate to less nutrient assimilation and make gym progress an uphill battle forever until the root issue is fixed.

Yeah like I said... I'm not sick that often.. It was twice back to back but yeah this isn't a monthly thing.
But yes the root issue to my nutrient assimilation if there is one(I only assume so) is an ulser in my esophagus treated by Tecta anti acid medication and honestly I'm not sure how to fix it. I did visit an ND a year ago and got a battery of naturopathic supplements but did not follow through. They were quite expensive but maybe I'll give it another shot.
