Thiamine's Role in Parasympathetic Nervous System: IHCAN Conference

[@deloresochoa3593]

I’ve suffered for years with chronic pain and inflammation and unexplained vertigo dizziness. I started taking B1 it’s been 3 weeks now and have noticed a big difference in pain and my nerves and vertigo dizziness is getting better.

[@OMGaNEWBIE]

@Analoguedialog -- Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is better absorbed by the body than thiamine. Call your local Health Food Store and ask them for the brand name that's better and which most practitioners use. Here in Canada, the brand is AOR.

Took supplements for NAFLD (garlic, TUDCA, Vit E, ) some probiotics. Later Benfothialamine (B1), Alpha GPC, Glycine, Omega 3 fatty acids, Magnesium citrate, B5 P5P, Zink, Vit C liposomal, . Feeling so good rn. It's life changing! Intestinals working, memory and cognitive improved drastically. I think I got really low on Choline and B1.

This approach seemed to clear up my SIBO for about a month until the air pollution got bad again, I seem to be sensitive to it when PM 2.5 goes above about 10 micrograms per metre cubed, also if stress level gets high enough it seems to override the benefits of the thiamine. To be fair I would say my SIBO was 50% improved already from the more well known approaches. It did help other symptoms though, I was getting a strained feeling in the chest when walking far or quickly outdoors for example and that went away when I started the high dose thiamine. I also couldn't really play first person shooting video games and now I can, pretty clear difference.

Hi how its going so far?

[@susanstewart1402]

Your understanding and client experience is awesome, Elliot. Thank you for sharing. More information about supplementing Zinc would be appreciated. What was your rationale for not including it in your ThiAssist product? My husband and I both felt better adding more Zinc after 6 months on high-dose B1 therapy (200-300 mg TTFD, 160-240 mg Benfotiamine).One of your guests swore by the fat-soluble Magnesium, Zinc, and TTFD combination, and we had the same experience although we needed other B vitamins, electrolytes, and trace minerals as you recommend. Zinc and protein are so fundamental to protein synthesis and building a healthy body.

[@susanstewart1402]

We are seeing better energy and mood. Digestion is perfect. Skin issues cleared up. High-dose B1 therapy is the missing metabolic link in my opinion. Thank you for your work.

Please help: I went past my ideal dose as symptoms began to return. I then went down from 750mg benfotiamine all the way down to the 25mg hydrochloride in my multi vitamin. I was also taking magnesium threonate at about 300 mg and every time I went down in b1 or magnesium things got better but now I am down to just the multi vitamin and the paradox has lasted 8 weeks. I am wondering if the dose is still too high for what I need now or if I should stick it out. potassium citrate at 2000 mg seems to help with 300mg sodium. And LOTS of water

Hi Eliot! What’s your thoughts on maybe checking lactate/puryvate ratio from blood as a marker that benfotiamine is no harm. I would like to give benfotiamine a try, but I am confused after recent videos from Chris Masterjohn phd.

I am interested in this approach, for sure

@@EONutrition thanks for your reply. I do my own kinda research on this topic and I know for sure that this topics are well known to german doctors dr Franz Enzmann and dr Bodo Kuklinski. They are known of mitochondrial medicine aproach like 30 years ago. Sorry if my English isn’t correct (I am from Poland). I just wanted to tell you that in my opinion you should try to contact these doctors. And in case of blood test lactate/puryvate, they are without a problem to do here I can see. They are in a panels for autistic children for example. I would like to know if it is a good / easy meter (and how to read it) while using benfotiamine. Greetings, Monika

Do you mean if you have high lactate/putt ate ratio benfothiamine isn't safe? Are other forms of b1 safe then?

Why are you thiamine supplements so expensive? The fat soluble forms of b1 help me a lot but I just cannot afford to buy them.

i can't buy ttfd in Poland... Benfo had effect on me only the first time taken, but had another moment when it worked, when after big stress took it with magnesium, B complex and grounded not sure if all these elements were needed for the effect but one proof is enough for me to continue what worked it proves also that in stress it can really save you, seems like we deplete everything then like crazy ps you want molybdenum too...

[@D.W94]

@@kendramilani2215 Never heard of it.I tried Citrate, Malate, Glycinate, Aspartate, Taurate the best one was l treonate it worked 2 weeks after that insomnia. I tried it because my magnesium was low and I was having anxiety and sleeping problem my other blood results were ok but magnesium makes it worse every time.

[@Valoric]

Taking magnesium at night or morning? Tried morning before? Could be electrolyte imbalance? My magnesium deficiency would cause night time energy and insomnia until I lessened the deficiency by taking in the morning. Also switching to glycinate instead of citrate was invaluable since it gave me the runs. Then it was improved further by bringing dairy back into my diet. I think food based calcium and supplemental magnesium type matters a lot here. Try it in the morning in smaller amounts and try to balance it against calcium. Magnesium oil is something to carefully try (use only on hairy skin areas). Make sure your vitamin D status is healthy. Don’t convince yourself magnesium is required or to improve.
