Vitamin B in perimenopause

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hi all.

A bit of advice. I am in the depths of peri. I am taking 1000th Vitamin B12 and 100mg Vitamin B6. Is this enough of these supplements on top of my diet ?

I suffer with fatigue,doom and gloom and anxiety with it . No energy and fatigue amongst other ailments.

Any advice from someone who knows there vitamins.

Thankyou

    Hi Michelle - you are taking the correct dose of vit b12&6, I take both!

    You might think about getting a blood test from your doctors just to check your not anaemic?

    diet and extra supplements should be plenty, we use our b12 as we go along, so yo can never take too much in, on the otherhand, if your diet is good, you shouldnt need to take extra in anyway, so i wouldnt take anymore in if i were you.

    Hi Michelle,

    I take a good quality multivitamin as well.

    Also you need extra vit c or you are not absorbing all of the B's as they work synergistically with vit c
