[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2670569, member: 493719"] IF it was a case of taking just one, I'd suggest testing for B12 & if low making it that one . I take B12 in sublingual form As mentioned Metformin AND being 60+ can lower it. Too low can mean injections, & treatment for life ...so I took it seriously, due diligence & lots of research. Having watched my mum's decline into dementia, the possible impact of the role B12 might play fully captured my attention. Up shot was I asked for my B12 to be tested at my HBA1c blood check. ( Not an issue asking & getting it tested, but beware it's not tested unless requested.) Found mine was at very low end of recommended range 190-900. Ordered B12, in sublingual form, as it seems in tablet form it can't pass the stomach in any meaningful way. Next HBA1c it went from 225 - 335...not ideal but an improvement & away from the edge of danger, I felt. For B12 context & info, B movie below in my signature highlights the various & detrimental ways low B12 impacts people. The [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B12_deficiency']Wikipedia[/URL] page is a good starting point As for other vitamins, D3+K2 here as well . And 2 Brazil nuts for 'brain power' can't prove it's helped, but they taste good and are rather filling, surprisingly. Google selenium & [URL='https://draxe.com/nutrition/brazil-nuts/']Brazil nuts[/URL] Good luck finding the info you're looking for . [/QUOTE]
