Hi,
I've been off of the computer for a few days. You don't need a prescription for niacin (B3). Start slow at 100mg and see if you can handle the flush. If you don't like it stick with the niacinamide.
> I don't take a particular "multi" so the zinc and selenium is the only source. How much additional P5P [that is B6, correct?] and B12 do you suggest?
Maybe you should add one good multi to the regimen in order to be sure you're getting everything you need. Maybe you could cut out some of the individuals (zinc, selenium, etc.) and save money. I can't say how much B6 you need. One way to judge is by the amount of dream recall you have. I know this sounds strange but one of the best ways of detecting a B6 deficiency is if a person can't remember any of their dreams. I take 50mg of P5P per day on top of my multi B formula. As for B12 i take a 2000mcg sublingual tablet.
JLx makes a good point about the thyroid status. I've been on 1/2 grain of natural thyoid for about 6 months. Unfortunately I haven't tested to see if any of this is working because I don't have any medical coverage right now and don't want to spend the ridiculous amount of money for the tests.
Ciao e buona fortuna,
Paul
