Product Information

Your body filters and eliminates excess water-soluble vitamins (the B vitamins and vitamin C), so it is difficult to over-consume these. However, fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, E, D, and K) can be stored in fat tissue and are dangerous when consumed in excess. The minerals iron, calcium, iodine, magnesium, selenium, copper, molybdenum, and manganese also can be damaging if consumed in excess.

There are no regulations or standards that dictate what nutrients a B-complex supplement must contain and in what amounts. Therefore, different supplements will contain different amounts of each vitamin. Maric, T et al.

The Role of B Vitamins in Methylation and Your Overall Health

BMJ Open 2020;10:e039119. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2020-039119 Nutrient absorption: Some nutrients may decrease the absorption of others. Iron and calcium compete for absorption, which is why most quality multivitamins will have one but not both. The mineral you need will depend on your diet. High doses of iron may also inhibit zinc absorption. We all have a gene called the MTHFR gene. Upon completion of the Human Genome Project in 2002, it was discovered that many people have a variant of this gene – about 60% of the US population in fact! And 40% of British and Australians too. You’re probably wondering what on earth the MTHFR gene is huh? Well, it’s actual name is methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (way too long for us unscientific folks to pronounce) and it if you have the gene defect or mutation, it’s more than likely that you are not absorbing and utilizing the B complex vitamins efficiently. A serving size of four gummies contains 6 grams of sugar, which equates to a little more than a teaspoon's worth.

If you have specific health concerns that you think are related to your genes, then I recommend working with an experienced practitioner who can create a plan for your unique genetic makeup. I apologize if I missed this in the post, but what if you don’t have a defective MTHFR gene. Is it still more beneficial to ensure you are taking a methylated folate or will any folic acid do?

Those who eat a limited diet: Those following vegan or vegetarian diets, restricted diets due to a health condition, or those who have difficulty eating a wide range of foods, may benefit from supplementing with individual vitamins or minerals or taking a multivitamin.Pregnancy: The CDC recommends women who may become pregnant consume at least 400 mcg of folate daily in the form of folic acid. We are a big fan of many of Thorne's products since they prioritize quality and often have third-party certifications. The Basic Nutrients 2/Day is no exception—it covers the multivitamin bases without unnecessary extra herbs or enzymes found in many multivitamins on the market. It's also NSF Certified for Sport, a robust credential that verifies supplement contents and ensures it is free of unsafe levels of contaminants and substances banned for athletes. Allergies are characterised by an increased production of histamine – a chemical that causes all of the symptoms we associated with allergies: sneezing, itching, runny nose or watery eyes. Excess histamine in the cells is cleared by adding a ‘methyl group’ to it. This makes it inactive and ready to be excreted. This supplement may be especially beneficial for women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Vitamin B6 is involved in neurotransmitter synthesis, which is essential for mood and stress support. Some research has shown supplemental B6 to relieve premenstrual symptoms.
