I cannot take vitamin D in any form other than cod liver oil, but try to get sunshine when I can instead.
The one vitamin I am trying to get right is folate (b9). I have the MTHFR gene which means I don’t process folic acid well. Methylated folate is supposed to be better but even one pill makes me extremely jittery to the point I feel like I’m having a panic attack! Bloated too.
I think the amounts in most of these B supplements are just way too high for me. I also don’t think they should be taken daily like some other supplements.
Bingo! Not only is there a genetic component at play, I had at least 2 gr-grandparents that suffered with pellegra before grains were enriched, so I guess certain B vitamins have been a problem in my genetic lines for a long time. Allow me to ask, do you take a standard B complex vitamin and add a methylated folate?
Be careful. Cod liver oil contains extremely high doses of vitamin A, which can lead to overdose if overconsumed.
