About 20 percent of the crude protein nitrogen in brewers yeast is in the form of purines which elevate blood levels of uric acid.

Would Brewer's yeast (from the Beer making process and it is not the kind of yeast we would use for baking) (which is balanced and complete with all the B vitamins) be then not best, although it is some production to dissolve the powder and not too good tasting, either. But balanced. Thanks. Karla Hello Vivian:

Should you take a B12 supplement? So what can you do if you have to take a proton pump inhibitor. Should you take a B12 supplement?

I recently started using a B-12 Energy Patch (by Healthy Habits)...an external dietary supplement you place behind the ear on upper part of the neck. Product can be found online (check for best prices). The patch contains B-12 (as methylcobalamin)and Folic Acid. I'm enjoying the trans-dermal delivery system. I now have more peace of mind knowing I'm getting the B-12 my body needs. Vivian, thank you for the article.

Can you recommend a good brand of multivitamin that has all the right levels of B vitamins in it. Have you heard of the vitamins from the company Algaecal called The Kitchen Sink? Do you recommend them ? Thank you Vivian for all your information. Can you recommend a good brand of multivitamin that has all the right levels of B vitamins in it.

I'm currently taking a multi-vitamin for women 50 and older. Although this vitamin seems to have all of the vitamins & minerals that you suggest in your articles, it does fall short of your recommended doseage in most cases. I'm not sure I want to be taking 4 or 5 supplements daily in order to make up the shortfall. In addition,I take CO Q10 and flaxseed oil capsules. Should I continue on this path or just stick to the multi-vitamin? Also, what are your thoughts on Strontium? I believe this is a fairly new supplement in the fight against Osteoporosis.

As the result of removing this portion of my colon, I was told that my body would never produce B-12 again. So I currently take B-12 injections. In 2007 I had my first bone density scan, which showed that I was osteopenia. Every annual scan since then, has shown decreasing bone mass. I attempted the drugs but had a bad experience and prefer to treat this condition wholistically. There has to be some healthier alternatives.
