Recovery from Vitamin B Deficiency

It depends on how depleted you are. It took me about a month to see
the effects. My B12 was 292. However, I cut the B tablet up and put
part of it under the tongue and let it dissolve, because you need
adequate stomach acid to absorb some of the Bs. I was taking a B
supplement for years, but it did not matter due to the insufficient
stomach acid. Now I take a B powder I got from iHerb.com (the brand
was NOW), and it works well and costs the least. Since it's going
under the tongue, the powder does a good job, however the taste is not
good, as you can probably imagine. Just have to grin and bear it.

Vitasorb children's B drops taste good and they are very easy to
absorb. Just keep them under the tongue for a few minutes. Adults need
3 X 20 drops a day so they work out a bit expensive.

Isn't there also a taste-masking product called 'Yuk-Away!' (or something
like that...) which body-builders use when they have to scarf down vast
amounts of stuff like powdered L-Arginine (which tastes, I am reliably
informed, like 'dog-vomit'...)...?

While arginine does taste bad, it not as bad as dog vomit or limburger
cheese.
It is a base. I'd suspect any kreb cycle acid would improve the taste.
I take arginine straight sometimes. Often I add either acetyl carnitine or
carnitine tartrate. That solution is hardly ideal but when I think
how much I am saving pricewise, I have absolutely no problem.

The supplement no doubt helped as it would have provide free folic
acid and free B-12 as opposed to folate and chemically bonded B-12.
However, your inositol status would have been impaired as few
supplements contain enough inositol. And at least a share of
your inositol comes from the acidic environment of the stomach hydrolyzing
phytate into inositol. Then one has to wonder
what else in the way of nutrients weren't hydrolyzed into their
free form to be available for absorption from the intestines.

Ha, ... Hah, Ha!

Somebody makes a totally off the wall request and this so-called
science person responds with an equally off the wall comment. 🙁

What is your problem Geek?

How does this person know that they have a vitamin B deficiency? Did
they totally dream this up? What B vitamin are they deficient in?

If they had gone to a physician and were found to be deficient in
Vitamin B-12, for example, the doctor would have been giving them
vitamin injections.

Just thought that you might want to know. 🙂

"I have a vitamin b deficiency. I have started taking Solgar's VM-2000
multivitamin. How long will it take me to recover from said
deficiency?"

Why not ask the MD that you're working with...this was dx by a doctor,
right?

What B-Vitamin are you deficient in?

The Vitamin B group consists of different chemical substances with
individual functions and attributes. They don't have that much in common.

More like goat vomit than dog vomit, surely?
