Vitamin B deficiencies - Plenum - 09-04-2013
does any one here take Vitamin B supps? I take multi-B every now and then, and notice that on that night, the dreams are much more deep and vivid. It's happened too many times now just to be co-incidence.
also - I had many dry skin issues as a kid and more sporadically as an adult. Since taking a multi-B whenever intuition makes a prompt, I've not had any of those issues at all.
its a very important group of vitamins integral to many metabolic processes.
they also tend to be destroyed by cooking (apparently).
and uncooked foods (even fruit) are not my thing. So supplementation (artificial) is needed for me.

I take vitamin C to help my eyes heal after my LASIK eye surgery. But no vitamin B. I used to take an all in one vitamin supplement. I also take fish oil (omega 3) when I remember to.

The B's are important too, because of the low levels of constant stress we are under typically.
I try to get vitamins and minerals from food and water, but that can be random if one doesn't grow one's own food. Lower on the food chain is where the basic building blocks of nutrition are.
My boyfriend has had definite heightened and lucid dreaming results from taking calcium+magnesium+zinc supplements.
For dry skin, flaxseed oil works. I live in the desert, and things can get very dry here. I have noticed a huge difference when regularly consuming good-quality flaxseed oil (found in the refrigerated section of whole food stores).

Thorne b complex is the best brand, most of us are getting inactivated b vitamins, but methylated bvitamins are active. Poor dream quality is a sign of b6 deficiency. Dry skin usually b3. All are required for our energy pathways.
I recommend everyone be on iodine, selenium, magnesium, b complex, and vitamin c.

I just have a multi-vitamin on hand for the days when my food intake is insufficient, which is most days hehe.

I have an extreme vitamin b12 deficiency. My body just doesn't accept b12 into my system through the digestive process, after finding that out I had to start getting it injected straight into my blood stream but ever since I've started doing that, I'm much less fatigued and scatterbrained. I do take vitamin b complex supps every now and then even though the b12 gets destroyed in my system, all of the vitamin B is damn handy.
Keeping the vitamin B levels at a good rate really makes you feel so much better.
And Plenum you should know as an Aussie that one of the richest suppliers of Vitamin B is Vegemite! lol

I take vitamin B supplements. My doctor tells me that I'm B12 deficient, even though I eat lots of B-rich foods (raw nuts, eggs, organ meats, raw vegetables, etc).
I don't have to worry about Vitamin D because I spend so much time outdoors working in my garden. I have a "farmer's tan".

Hi all
I also have deficiency of vitamin b and i think the best way to complete lack of vitamins b eat fruit regularly as part of a well-balanced, nutritious diet.Taking much B group vitamin supplements may cause mask deficiencies of other vitamins. .

I would use some sort of body conscious connection, maybe kinesiology, as a way to determine what is needed, and after some time you will be able to gauge how often changes are needed, or even what needs to be changed.
Over-consumption of Vitamin B Complex Tablets
Excess Nutrients and Vitamins
There is also an article somewhere describing high protein intake needs certain B vitamins to compensate.
