Vitamins B1 And B6

You will go to Amazon or a specialty supplement store and get Vitamin B1 and B6 in 100 mg tablet formulations. Do NOT get a Vitamin B complex because this will not provide adequate amounts of each.

Loading Dose Period

For the first 3 weeks, you will take a higher dose to get the vitamins in your system. You will take 200 mg of each vitamin daily. It does not matter when you take them as long as it is two tablets daily of each.

Maintenance Dose Period

After the first 3 weeks, you will take 100 mg of each vitamin daily.

If your symptoms resolve, you may safely discontinue both vitamins. If you haven’t seen an improvement in your symptoms within 4-6 weeks, you may stop taking the medicines. Do not take the medications for longer than 3 months without discussing this with your physician, as he or she may want to perform blood tests to measure the levels of each vitamin in your system.
