Comments…

Please note, the B vitamins should be taken as a complex and not individually unless specially recommended.
A healthy diet should provide enough folic acid, but you may find you need more if you are pregnant, just had an injury, or if you have been taking drugs or the oral contraceptive long term. Caution should be taken as large doses of Folic acid can mask a B12 deficiency which can lead to nerve problems.

Eating raw egg whites can inhibit the absorption of biotin. As can antibiotics and saccharin.

  • hair loss.

  • nausea.

  • muscle pain.

  • loss of appetite.
