Was curious if B vitamins can compete with each other for absorption and possibly lower the others.
For years I've taken (and generally done well with) a large dose vitamin B6 (Pyrodoxine HCL), generally in the 100mg's range, with the intended use of reducing prolactin (seems to work). I've recently done some research on Vitamin B1 being effective for energy and fatigue, so I was going to start that one as well, as I've never thought about it/focused on it in my diet.
Can someone give me a summary on Vitamin B1? I saw some @haidut posts on it being good for energy in the 1000s of mg range, good for cancers, and Ray Peat has these clips too:
Could someone give a summary of what exactly B1 helps with? E.g. is it Thyroid? I like updating my mental model of what various foods and supps are supposed to do, then update it and collect data as I try on myself (like the B6 and prolactin thing, e.g. I've found that taking more zinc + B6 is useful if I'm ejaculating a lot).
EDIT - some reading materials on B1 -
