First- ...Rock and a Hard place with the vit supps. <br />First- If you are diabetic and really haven't reduced your Carb intake in your diet changes are it IS the diabetes and not some B12 deficiency causing ones Neuropathy- don't fool yourself.<br />Second- Studies I'm sure have shown the importance certain vits in doses greater than one can get in a diet, certainly a diet a LC or IF style diet. And not all vits are made the same. Could it be the 'pill' form and maybe not a powder or liquid version. I have little faith in most studies that find anything other than a pharmaceutical as benefical.michael plunketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028277816327625622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744580142610576101.post-34727604726091710672010-05-05T05:02:57.954-07:002010-05-05T05:02:57.954-07:00Anne,

This is only the last of a long list of studies finding problems with vitamin supplementation. My guess is that this is yet another case of altering only one factor when there is a complex involved, and that the artificial supplementation of only one elements puts something else important out of balance. I have yet to see a single major study that finds health benefits from vitamin pill supplementation.<br /><br />In the case of B-12 deficiency caused by Metformin (over time--it may take as long as 15 years to develop), injections are needed, not pills.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384082448952856117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744580142610576101.post-48221302301320753652010-05-05T04:39:49.549-07:002010-05-05T04:39:49.549-07:00The article did not say what form of the B vitamin...The article did not say what form of the B vitamins were used in this study. Were they the bioavailable forms? Methylcobalamin, methylfolate and P-5-P or were they the forms the body has to convert to a usable vitamin? There may be a big difference. <br /><br />Another thing to remember is metformin depletes B12. Some people who have diabetic neuropathy may truly have neuropathy from B12 deficiency.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16655747133135789559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744580142610576101.post-62658826424624668782010-04-27T21:38:42.394-07:002010-04-27T21:38:42.394-07:00>gack< and here I was looking at http://new...>gack< and here I was looking at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7796073.stm b1 help for kidneyscountry mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16328119281634096286noreply@blogger.com
