Ecological Formulas - Allithiamine 50 mg 60 caps

Product Information

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. I do not currently take any prescription medications although the MD’s want me to take Toprol XL and Lexapro and Progesterone cream to manage the symptoms of dysautonomia and perimenopause. I do take a large quantity of supplements. Perhaps one of the below affects thiamine absorption? My mother’s cancer doctor mentioned that it sounded like I had a major b12 deficiency and that I should try supplements. I did and it worked for a time, giving me improvements, but there was still residual numbness. Which gradually got worse. At the moment I can only manage oral supplementation every 5 or more days without getting worsening stomach pains. This has taken the edge off the worst of my symptoms but is not really enough to replete me I suspect. I don’t know how to proceed. I am in the UK and cant source all forms of B1 that have been mentioned. I have Benfothiamine and the HCl form. When you mention starting with very small doses what sort of doses do you mean? Also what are the typical adverse symptoms? Would my gut pain be one such symptom? I do get similar gut pain from other supplements and many foods so it is not only B1 that causes it. I researched my problem continuously, trying supplements and elimination diets. I found things that helped: GFCF diet, Ceylon cinnamon, raising my vit D and magnesium levels, sublingual B12, methylfolate (could dampen tingles if I took a super high dose), potassium chloride. I tried literally dozens of things.

I started taking allithamine and got wondrous results. Faster healing, more feeling than I’ve had in ages, and my mood has improved. Has this all really just been a b1 deficiency the whole time?We are beginning with 50 mg and stepping up to 100 mg, which from your books, seems to be the recommended long-term dosage. What would be some indications that more was needed by any given child, or should the 100 mg of allithiamine eventually resolve the deficiency? Should we just sort of play with the dosage and see? I do know that I was feeling a lot better on the Lipothiamine and wondering whats the best course now in terms of supplementation given my situation. My husband is an internal medicine physician of 25 years and, like many (most) in Western medicine, seems to poo poo the idea of vitamin/mineral deficiencies. I am now 50 and experiencing perimenopause and all the lovely changes that accompany (sarcasm) while homeschool our elementary aged children, so I am accustomed to stress. Until 8 weeks ago I was in very good health and spirits. Solid and stable Body weight and fitness levels. Cardio and resistance Exercise several times per week, primarily meat/veggie/fruit diet and no medications other than Mg, D3/K2, NAC, quercetin, probiotic and fish oil. Biweekly acupuncture sessions for hormonal reasons. I’v not been taking Lipothiamine for a little over a month. I believe the main symptoms of “paradox” have resolved which were emotional volatility, extra physical anxiety and chest pains. I have now increased the dosage to 200mg lipothiamine per day split in the following manner: 100mg at breakfast, 50mg at lunch, 50mg at dinner.

For some reason my blood work now shows low molybdenum and selenium, even though I eat eggs daily and am practically zero carb. Indication to leaky gut and they said something about kidney function not right.. Since everyone including the MD’s are confused by the administration of oral b1 , I was wondering if you did consultations over the phone which I’d, of course, be happy to pay for, and if you didn’t if you could refer me to someone you trusted on this issue that did? I am at a loss on how to proceed with no proper guidance. 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. From what I’ve since read, I realise this is likely paradox symptoms. I’m now on btwen 62.5-125mg (1/4 – 1/2 tab) daily, and I find I still have to take the dose at night. Daytime doses make me too tired. He did reply, but it was posted to the wrong thread. Again, there has been quite a bit of volume. If you scroll down, you will see it. Here is what he said:POTS (not typical POTS, don’t get dizzy, just get uncomfortable and very high heart rate when standing or moving positions)

The patients in the articles were repleted after a short period of days to weeks and had resolution of their electrolyte imbalances. I am concerned though because I have been in this condition for over 2 months now and if it is in fact Thiamine deficiency I worry that maybe there is permanent damage to my kidneys. So you are saying that Allithiamine or Thiamax would work as well or almost as well taken orally as Lipothiamine?. ( I was given pause because I had read that stomach acid could degrade part or all of the non enterically coated forms of TTFD.) Neither physician is sure. In the case of my friend, he went from a strong suspicion to feeling it’s just a possibility after thinking it through. He didn’t examine me, it was a phone conversation. He now feels that it may just be b1 deficiency considering the alcohol use was roughly less than a year and I had stopped for 3 months before and was asymptomatic those 3 months , and just presented symptoms after 2 weeks of returning to moderate consumption.

I’ve just worked up over 5 weeks to 50mgs of allithiamine and am really struggling. Sleep disturbed again, leg/nerve pain increasing, digestion off and my heart rate was so high on a little walk today I nearly passed out. Is this paradox? I’m very concerned about the level of potassium I need and would really appreciate your words of wisdom/advice as I feel in a real mess with my health and am having a repeat ECG on Monday I just hope my t wave is normal again. I’ve not been able to work since March and feel quite desperate. If you are interested, here is a link to Isabella Wendtz’s blog where she talks about Thiamine and thyroid fatigue, and how she supplemented to help herself with it. https://thyroidpharmacist.com/articles/thiamine-and-thyroid-fatigue/ I am experiencing an electrolyte imbalance (low phosphorus and potassium) after a period of fasting during Lent. I began eating normally again and experienced what I originally thought was Refeeding Syndrome. I had been diagnosed with this in the past and like this time, despite treatment and supplementing with up to 3,000 mg of Phosphorus and 160 mEq of Potassium, my blood levels are still low.

Thank you for reading my story. I’m very grateful for the online information you have provided about thiamine over the years. You’ve helped me and so many other people recover from illness.The light went off for me when I was reading about Benfotiamine and the author listed the symptoms of Dry Beriberi. I was stunned. I cried. I got serious about nutrition, vitamins and minerals. This led me further into studying B1, and now to Dr. Lonsdale and his very important work.
