Hi Dr.Amy!
I’m so grateful I came across your podcast. I’ve only listened to about 8 so far… you’re right, it’s a lot of information in a little bit! I have so many questions but for know I will just ask two…
1) Typically how long before you may notice results from taking b vitamins? (Like the B minus from Seeking Health)
2) Is it safe to take daily SAMe or should you pulse it?
Looking forward to hearing back!
Hi Holly,
I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the podcast – that is great news!
In terms of “results” – it depends on what you’re looking for. Usually, people notice mood or energy level changes first, and those are very dose-dependent. I try to encourage people to give a dose at least 2 weeks (and more if you’re very sensitive) to see how your body responds before you think of increasing or changing. If you’ve been taking the B minus with no negative effects for 2 weeks and you aren’t seeing too much of a change, you could think about adding in a separate 5-LMTHF at a very low dose and seeing how you respond (or if you know you don’t tolerate 5-LMTHF, then maybe an additional folinic acid or a workaround like the SAMe.)
SAMe is safe to take daily and works best on an empty stomach (30 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after).
