It depends...: We're all individuals so it depends on your unique needs. Inositol 12 grams/day in divided doses ; the l-5-mthf form of folate (folic acid) often helps. B6 ; zinc can help, esp. If you have pyroluria.For some niacinamide 500 mg 4x/day really helps (but monitor liver enzymes). Other b's like b5 can help.Magnesium often helps. Herbs ; Amino Acids can help too. Work with a holistic md for individualized treatment.
