Ecological Formulas - Allithiamine 50 mg 60 caps

Product Information

I wanted to share some info based on your second post, where you mentioned blueberries. In 1999, The World Health Organization published a report on thiamine, which indicates that polyphenols in blueberries are thiamine-antagonists (or anti-thiamine factors), which is different from a thiaminase found in raw fish. these thiamine-antagonists are found in other foods, such as red cabbage, tea, red beets and others. Quercitin is another thiamine-antagonist that is used that is used as a supplement. It was recommended to me years ago for allergies, and I know recognize that some of the symptoms I experienced while taking it were likely due to thiamine deficiency. When I first came across all this info on thiamine I started supplementing and the worst of my mental confusion, nausea, loss of appetite went away within a few days. I stopped the B1 because of gut pain and the symptoms increased again, I then restarted the B1 and they decreased again. (Unfortunately I had been supplementing for a bit before performing the test but intermittently) I am now using the Authia cream since I struggle with oral supplementation. I have noticed that I feel really tired after applying the cream for most of the day. I seem to remember reading that this would also suggest deficiency as otherwise supplementing would have no effect.

My doctors all think I’m fine because my whole blood thiamine is actually on the higher end of normal and pretty much every other blood test is normal. If thats true, that Allithiamine or Thiamax would be as effective or almost as effective as enterically coated TTFD would that also be the case if I had some form of WE if whatever I have was caused by alcohol or if there was an alcohol history ? My understanding although I could be wrong , is that if issues have been induced by alcohol then things change in terms of treatment course and prognosis.Well, maybe the issue was that I didn’t eat enough fat when I took it? I eat 2 salmon fillets whenever I take the allithamine and it works great to help me absorb it. I really believe I am onto something here though. I have decided to try an active form of B1 and am not sure if I should go with Alltiamine or Coenzymated B-1? Do you have any suggestions? First of all, thank you for your amazing work, and contribution to these subjects, it truly is an eyeopener. POTS (not typical POTS, don’t get dizzy, just get uncomfortable and very high heart rate when standing or moving positions)

Since you indicate that TTFD is better absorbed that Thiamine HCL, I am assuming that smaller doses of TTFD are more effective that Thiamine HCL. Is there any general dose equivalent between these substances?

I researched online and believe God led me to several medical articles stating that Thiamine deficiency during the refeeding phase could cause renal tubular dysfunction resulting in electrolyte losses via the kidneys. So electrolyte values during the refeeding phase after fasting could be Refeeding Syndrome’s intracellular losses -OR- urinary losses from Thiamine Deficiency. Thiamin and folic acid deficiency accompanied by resistant electrolyte imbalance in the re-feeding syndrome in an elderly patient” So my question is, does this sound like thiamine deficiency that started a long time ago to you? What would be your recommendations in this case in terms of taking the Alithiamine. Should I increase dose? Should I try to lower the dose? Should I be able to reach a point of not having to rely on the supplement in the future? A neurologist ran tests (MRI, nerve conduction) and said I didn’t have MS or a brain tumor. My blood tests were normal.

re: magnesium, I take three Jigsaw magnesium tablets per day (375mg elemental Mg), along with a large number of other supplements. Oxalates have played a part in my poor recovery as I started keto/fasting in the year of my surgery. I now eat predominately carnivore which saw me in hospital with a T wave inversion 10 days into this diet shift. A typically sized sulbutiamine capsule contains 200 mg, for whatever that is worth. Is that because it’s often used at far higher doses than TTFD, that it’s a cheaper ingredient so they can afford to put more in per capsule, or that TTFD is significantly stronger per mg than sulbutiamine, I can’t say. Only that the chemicals should have similar mechanisms of action.Pyridoxine hydrochloride, the synthetic form of what most supplement makers (putatively) call “vitamin B6,” would be an exception, wouldn’t it? My balance is pretty decent, just a bit more unsteady once in a while but my memory seems to have deteriorated. Thnk Gd not anywhere near K.S. but enough to concern me. Thank you for your reply and advice. This particular doctor is a top Nephrologist here in NY and he’s also been a close friend since I was in my teens so there were a few advantages talking to him on the subject. In terms of alcohol consumption, about a year ago, for the first time in my life, I start chronic drinking. I stopped for 3 months after the Papilledema diagnosis, but then about 3.5 weeks ago started again, this time consuming much less alcohol. Around 2 weeks ago is when I noticed the memory and balance issue. I have stopped drinking again.
