I keep having the same problems. I figured out I was low in B5 (pantothenic acid), because I am Calcium Deficient. B5 also requires biotin. B5 is also a common deficiency. Also, Folic Acid can be masked by B12 and vice versa, from what I've heard. Both can cause anemia, which would be indicated on a CBC blood test. Like someone else said, you definitely don't want to start supplementing only one B-vitamin at a time, unless a health professional advises it. You should do the whole complex. When I first tried to fix deficiencies after a severe alcohol binge (which I should have been dead from), I ended up fixing myself pretty well, then unfixing myself, because I was supplement 1 thing at a time to figure out my deficiencies. That becomes a problem, because most nutrients have antagonist nutrients, pushing each other out, when taken over a long period of time. I took Magnesium for a long time without calcium, and guess what happened to my calcium? Yep, not much left. ** Lockdown Last edited by Chemar; 04-21-2012 at 03:49 PM.

This is just the opposite of everything I've seen. Typically...
