I had previously felt an improvement in my concentration and length of time thinking prior to mental fatigue with the B12 cyanocobalamin (swallowed) whereas the under the tongue B12 mecobalamin doesn't seem to have the same effect.
My research hasn't found anything compelling regarding the ingestion by either swallowing or under the tongue. Does anyone else have a similar experience? Maybe I have to wait a while to "load" due to the change in the type of B12? |

If cyanocobalamin works for you, great.

Does anyone have experience with the following:
I had begun to look into Lipoic Acid following reading some information on a different part of this forum and wondering if it's potential benefits could relate to concussion recovery. The same goes for ginkgo biloba which I having been looking into because of claims of improved cognitive function. I'd like to hear from anyone who has used these supplements. |

The studies do not show ginko to have a benefit. ALA may but since it is usually acquired by ingesting a proper and brain healthy diet, some of us do not see the purpose of such a supplement

I have been taking 400 mg Vitamin B2 (neurologist advised), 120 mg Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng 75 mg, Vitamin B6 50 mg and C0-Q10 50 mg (these all recommended by Dr Diane website. Are these ok to be taking as well as your recommended daily ones or are there any red flags with these? P.S. Thanks for your input! |

The B-2 is fine. The B-6 is in a B-50 Complex. No need to take more than the amount in the B-50 Complex. Gingko and gensing are OK but not miracle supplements like some claim. The most important is the B-12, folic acid, D-3 and Omega 3 fish oil/DHA.
Dr Diane is OK but very focused on exaggerating her qualifications. She misses many issues and is overly focused on others. IMO, she is more of a profiteer than an expert.

Just found this- seems to have good info -
Cognitive Function and Brain Health - Scientific Review on Usage, Dosage, Side Effects | Examine.com Ginseng 75 mg seems very low to me.. it that per day? Not sure what type you are using but there are differences between types - [Recommended dosage, active amounts, other details Panax Ginseng tends to be taken in doses of 200 to 400mg daily for general 'preventative' medicine, although some studies on the inclusion of Panax Ginseng in a multivitamin suggest doses as low as 40mg might be bioactive. The 400mg dose appears to confer most cognitive benefit. These doses refer to standard 'Ginseng Extract' which is around 2-3% total Ginsenosides, and is a once daily dosage.] Panax ginseng - Scientific Review on Usage, Dosage, Side Effects | Examine.com

I just added 5-htp to my vitamin regime. When is the best time to take this? With a meal or without? Also, if I am taking 50 mg right now but I'm going to bump up to 100 mg, should I take both pills at once or one at night one in the morning?
