how effectively does the b-12 vitamin (dots) work?

Question

How does each b vitamin help alzhaimer's? How does each work, and which are the most effective?

Answer 1

B12 and weight?: This a medical fraud committed by many "obesity" centers, whose docs have no training in endocrinology or obesity. B12 has nothing to do with weight loss!

Answer 2

Biotin: Biotin especially at 3000mg daily is great for hair skin and nails.

Answer 3

Several: You need adequate protein intake for good strong nails. 45 grams daily for a woman and 60 grams for a man should be adequate. Orthosilica has been extremely effective for many of my patients.

Answer 4

Some do....: Some don't.

Answer 5

Not all: Like with foods, it's a matter of personal taste. Try different ones until you find what is best for you.

Answer 6

Of course!: Anything that contains calories is a nutrient. Too many calories makes you fat. Beyond that, the answer depends on the specific nutrient. It's easy to consume too much chocolate (for me, anyway), but not so easy to consume too much celery. For vitamins, the answer is also yes, but depends on which. It's much easier to take too much a, e, d, or k (fat soluble) than b or c etc. (water soluble).

Answer 7

Yes: Certainly you can over do anything.

Answer 8

Depends...: The vitamins to be most cautious of are the fat soluble ones. The most important part of this approach is to work with a doctor who has knowledge and experience in this area. Ask what training they've had and how long they've been doing it. I prefer to do testing before prescribing anything. Having said that, there have been no deaths in the last 10 years from vitamins.

Answer 9

Orthomolecular Meds: Working with a physician skilled in Functional Medicine would be helpful, if interested in orthomolecular approaches. Functional medicine physicians care for people through addressing root causes. Treatments are often diet and nutritional supplements, as indicated. The Institute for Functional Medicine (https://www.ifm.org/) has a search engine for qualified professionals in your area. Good luck!
