i found out about it as something for ms here >> http://www.care2.com/greenliving/treating-ms-without-dangerous-drugs.html

any thoughts? i've been taking d3, zinc, omega-3, and biotin for about 3 weeks, i'm definitely adding coq10, but am also considering creatine.

also if you know of an easily absorb-able b-complex vitamin, i'd love to know what it is! i don't think my body was absorbing any of the one i used to take

B vitamins are tricky as they need intrinsic factors (IF) made in the stomach and 2 enzymes dumped in duodenum for B vitamins to be absorbed. THEN use absorbable B vitamins.

If you don't have enough IF and enzymes then the only way to get enough B vitamins is through injection or right gut bacteria (certain strains of bacteria make B vitamins).

We use Life Extension multivitamin (no copper or iron) that has plenty of B vitamins.
