Vitamins

Can take an additional 1 gram (1,000 mg) of AA if headache occurs or any general feelings of unwellness throughout the day. 

AA neutralizes all known toxins, improves immunity, and helps heal everything it touches inside and outside the body. AA is a collagen co-factor. It can be used internally, topically, in baths, in eye drops, 

in neti pots or snorted, or nebulized to heal the lungs. When paired with L-Lysine, both works synergistically to lower EBV load, improve immunity, and address any cardiovascular concerns. 

When paired with MSM, AA is able to penetrate damaged cells for healing, especially cancer cells. 

1/2 tsp of pure ascorbic acid powder can be put into a full tub for soaking to neutralize chlorine and other toxins. AA is a co-factor to copper, iodine, and Diatomaceous Earth.

Thiamine is involved in numerous body functions, including the nervous system and muscle functioning, the flow of electrolytes in and out of nerve and muscle cells, carbohydrate metabolism, and the production of hydrochloric acid, which is necessary for proper digestion. 

Signs you need more B1: low blood pressure, gas, bloating, low stomach acid (unable to digest certain foods), nerve pain, or if you drink alcohol consistently. 

When you begin B1, you will need to begin B2 and B5 shortly after, as all three work synergistically together. B1 is a co-factor to the other B vitamins

Riboflavin is an essential vitamin for the production of energy. 

Riboflavin is required for many enzyme reactions including the activation of other vitamins, red blood cell production, and helps the body in releasing energy. 

B2 will turn your pee bright yellow, this is normal and no cause for alarm. Signs you need more B2: rash, headache, blurred vision, cracked corners or mouth, swollen tongue, throat soreness, weakness, dizziness, chapped lips and/or face. 

Some may experience these deficiency symptoms when first starting and need to lower dose and increase more slowly to allow the body to acclimate to the new amount of B2. When taking B2, you will need to begin B1 and B5 shortly after, as all three work synergistically together. 

B2 is a co-factor to iodine and the other B vitamins.

B3 offers pancreas support, a calming effect on neurotransmitters, anti-aging properties, and is an antioxidant, cleaning up free-radicals. 

Signs you need more B3: restless sleep, painful joints/cartilage, slow skin healing, dry skin, depression, tics, chronic cough, anxiety, and ADHD. 

Therapeutic doses (up to 3,000mg per day) of B3 can be used for bacterial and viral infections, preeclampsia, tissue regeneration, and inflammatory bowel disease. Niacinamide is the non-flushing form of B3 and can cause nausea at high doses. If nausea presents when increasing B3, lower dose and increase more slowly. Inositol Nicotinate has no side effects and is also non-flushing.

Niacin, specifically, causes a flush of the skin (vasodilating), can boost metabolism and human growth hormone levels, burn fat, increases blood flow to muscles, assisting in blood detox, and can improve physical performance, which are the only things niacinamide and inositol nicotinate cannot do as well. Niacin, specifically, works very well for a super-charged detox when paired with infrared sauna sessions.

NEVER use the slow or extended-release niacin. B3 is a co-factor for iodine, other B vitamins, and works synergistically with Ascorbic Acid.

Pantothenic acid is a precursor of coenzyme A (CoA), an important cofactor and acyl group carrier in cells. 

One of the main functions for CoA is the formation of acetyl-CoA, vital for cellular respiration and the metabolism of carbohydrates and fatty acids through the Krebs cycle. Tissues with the highest retention of B5 are the kidneys, pituitary gland, heart, muscle, liver, and adrenal glands. Pantothenic acid is required for the synthesis of membrane phospholipids, the amino acids leucine, arginine and methionine, and isoprenoid derivatives, including steroid hormones Vitamin A and D. 

Signs you need more B5: neuropathy symptoms such as numbness and tingling, denervation and

neurotransmitter imbalances (unstable mood). 

If you begin B5, you will need to begin B1 and B2 shortly after, as all three work synergistically together. B5 is a co-factor for other B vitamins, some amino acids, and steroid hormones.

Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin that is an essential co-factor for a number of metabolic carboxylation reactions involved in metabolism. 

Biotin can help strengthen hair, nails, and skin as well as maintain a healthy nervous system. Biotin-dependent enzymes are involved in glucose metabolism, fatty acid synthesis, nervous system function, and skin and hair nutrition. 

Signs you need more B7: thinning hair, brittle nails, low skin integrity or if you eat a high protein diet. Extra biotin can also be beneficial for supporting healthy glucose metabolism for individuals who have had bariatric surgery or those with compromised absorption.

Vitamin B12 is required for proper red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis.

Adenosylcobalamin, one of the “coenzyme” forms of vitamin B12, is known as the mitochondrial form as it is the most prevalent form in cellular tissues. While not itself a “coenzyme” form, hydroxocobalamin easily converts to one (methylcobalamin) and may also have the unique benefit of helping to support healthy cellular detoxification. 

Each individual may respond favorably to one or two forms over another. It can be common to try all 3 forms to determine your body’s preference. Severely deficient individuals many require a weekly injection of hydroxocobalamin to gain B12 status while beginning supplementation.

Signs you need more B12: Fatigue/lower energy, shortness of breath, lightheadedness/dizziness, pale or yellowish skin, heart palpations, nerve problems, low mood, lethargy, a smooth tongue, loss of appetite, vision loss or behavioral changes.

(Myo-Inositol)- Choline & Inositol are members of the B-vitamin family and are essential components of all cell membranes. 

Choline is an important nutrient that serves a variety of purposes in the body, including providing methyl groups needed for many metabolic functions, including normal muscle function, liver health and early brain development. The body requires choline to make phospholipids, which are vital for cell

membrane integrity and nerve myelination.

Choline benefits memory, mood and muscle control. Choline also helps modulate gene expression. Choline is necessary for normal synaptic transmission, brain health, and fatty acid metabolism in the liver. The liver cannot produce the required amounts of choline; therefore, supplementation is typically required.

Groups with increased need for choline supplementation are pregnant women, vegetarians

and those with genetic variations involving the metabolism of choline, folate, and

methionine.

Inositol is also essential for brain and nervous system health & muscle and nerve function.

Inositol is an important element for the maintenance of ovarian health and normal blood

sugar maintenance. Myo-Inositol in particular, is a versatile nutrient for the promotion of

emotional and mental wellness, healthy eating patterns, and restful sleep through its critical

role in neurotransmitter messaging systems.

The Vitamin E family consists of four tocotrienols- alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. Vit E as tocotrienols, is a fat-soluble vitamin that promotes cardiovascular and circulatory health, promotes regulation of healthy metabolic functioning, supports the inner lining of blood vessels and antioxidant activity. Tocotrienols have been well researched for their antioxidant activity, which can fight free radicals to protect cells.

Research supports evidence that tocotrienols may have even more powerful antioxidant properties than tocopherols (a common type of Vitamin E), although in certain situations, a mixture of the two can be helpful, especially the gamma tocopherol form. 

Signs you need more Vitamin E: dry, cracked lips and skin. Can use orally or topically as well. A 

high-quality wheatgerm oil can be used alternatively for certain individuals. Vitamin E is a co-factor to

Selenium.

Vitamin K helps maintain your body’s calcium balance, which affects everything from arterial health to bone density. But it’s hard for some to get suƯicient vitamin K from food. Vitamin K (specifically vitamin K2) encourages the cellular activity of osteoblasts—specialized cells that regulate the mineralization of your bone matrix, the lattice-like support structure that bone is built upon. This helps balance & utilize calcium properly thus maintaining healthy bone density. 

Vitamin K2 is fat soluble, which means it can accumulate in the body with too large amounts. It is important to determine if you receive enough through your diet or if supplementation is, in fact, necessary. 

Some may receive enough K2 through diet with consistent consumption of leafy greens, broccoli, brussels sprouts, chicken breast and liver, sauerkraut, kefir, raw eggs, grass-fed butter. 

Signs of K2 deficiency include tooth decay/cavities/demineralization, weak, brittle bones/brakes, and

cardiovascular issues.
