Haidut, what's your source of B1, brand-wise? Are you aware of any concerns regarding its toxicity or displacing other vitamins or minerals?

It's a british company and they have both liquid forms of activated B1 and B6.
The ingredients are thiamin pyrophosphate and purified water for the liquid B1 and P5P and purified water for the B6.
The dosage is really easy and absorption really optimal.
Wilfrid, if you're still around can you tell me how you use the B1 liquid? The site says 1 drop is 615mcg, so 100 drops for 6.15mg, about a physiologic dose. Is that what you do?
I have some doubts about thiamin hydrochloride as far as absorption goes. When I've used B1 in the past I didn't get anything out of it. There are no sources of pure thiamin pyrophosphate in the US, AFAIK.
Thx

If you need more info on B1 just ask. I have been experimenting with it a lot.

Sorry, had a typo in my last post above. The vitamin B1 I buy is from GNC and not from RiteAid.

Haidut,
Sorry if I've asked this of you before, but I see you have a lot of knowledge about the B vitamins, and I have this one I just started- http://www.healthbeyondhype.com/premier ... p-455.html
Do you think it looks like good forms of the B's and in good balance with each other? I appreciate any feedback. I'm thinking I want to do a complex formula rather than individual because I don't want to imbalance one over the other, and I'm just not sure what individual ones I may need.
Thanks!

Well, based on the label the product at least does not seem to have any toxic additives. However, I am not sure what the effects of this bacterial combination on the body would be. The bottle contains the following:
Proprietary blend (2.5ml) of:
"Primary Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Bifidobacterium Species (breve ss.breve, infantis ss. infantis, longum), Enterococcus Species faecais TH10, faecium), Lactobacillus Species (acidophilus, bulgaricus, casei ss. casei, fermentum, helveticus ss. jagurti, plantarum), Streptococcus Therm."
That's a mix of a dozen bacteria and I don't know much about their effects, alone or in combination, on the human body. Some of them are yogurt bacteria, but some others are unknown to me. Assuming the bacteria are safe, the rest of the ingredients look OK.

Thanks for the quick response! Can you suggest how I might find out the answer to your questions? Is this product any different from a nutritional yeast that Peat has talked about, except that the yeast here has been reduced to its active components? Is the saccharomyces the substrate that the vitamins are formed from, and which is "eaten" up in the process, so that the bacteria are essentially no longer an issue in the final product? I'm sure I don't understand all this, which is why I'd like someone here to 'splain it to me :?
