"B Vitamin Dosage" , Mon 3 Apr 23:15

.....does anyone know the needed dosage of B Vitamins when taking SAM-e? I take a multi-vitamin with 50mg of B-complex.....I really don't want to take another B-100.....anyone have any information or know a good source? By the way I only take 100mg of SAM-e and it is good stuff!!!!

Hi
VRP.com recommends the follwing to take with Sam-e

Vitamin B-6 50mg
Folic Acid 800 mcg
Vitamin B-12 1000 mcg

See excerpt from article below under heading co-factors which details amounts of the B vits at:

:-)

Cofactors
To avoid conversion of SAMe into high levels of homocysteine, known for its increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, you should also be taking the cofactors, vitamin B6 (50 mg), vitamin B12 (1000 mcg), and folic acid (800 mcg), to enhance production of the SAMe precursor, methionine. This is most easily taken as part of a multivitamin, preferably with food, and not necessarily along with the SAMe dose.
