A member asked:
Which vitamin is often absent in chronic alcoholics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
B1, FA: If alcoholic ends up in the hospital for detoxification, an IV is placed. The bag is yellow and is called " banana bag" because vitamins b1, which is called thiamine and Folic Acid are added. The founder of aa also gave big importance to vitamin b3, niacin. You can find recommendations of taking various vitamins, mostly from the b-group, so to take a good vitamin b complex is a good idea.
