Paul:
I think I noted this awhile back but what I learned is so fascinating I
think it is worth noting again.
A useful approach for people needing to take supplements for relief of
serious problems is, if they cannot get blood levels measured, is to use
a 'smell' test. For the best results, you could purchase one bottle of
all of the 30 or so common nutrients (individual nutrients, including
individual B's, not B-complex), and smell the contents of the bottle. If
it smells good or has no smell, you need the nutrient and can take it.
If it smells bad, you don't need it and should definitely avoid it. In
other words, it appears that the nutrient when in excess will cause the
equivalent of an instinctive stop!
When I was very Hg toxic after filling removal a few years ago, I had a
dramatic benefit from Mg, at up to 1800 mg per day, because my body
needed it (the bottle of capsules smelled wonderful until the deficiency
was corrected).
OTOH, I've never needed zinc (we are all biochemically unique), and B
Vitamins, even when I needed them, never did any good (probaly because
of underlying enzyme deficiencies or intestinal toxins, preventing the
nutrients from working). Amino-acids were also useless for me.
Now I just pay more attention to food rather than going through all
this, although I am taking a few things in small doses <g>...
