Hi all - Just wondering about how best to take Vit B12 & Folic acid and what strengths are needed to maximise results?. I have purchased some B12 from my local pharmacy (holland and barrett uk people) and some Folic acid from my local supermarket. Has anyone had any good results from this ? Should i take them morning and night ?
Also my doctor for a second time wont prescribe me protopic due to it being steriod cream grrr
Thankyou all this forum has been great support : )

Hi Gareth,
Protopic is really good for face patches.
Regarding vitamins, I have put a lot of info about it together, based on my researches during past 2 years. Available at www.vitiligomap.com/protocol.html.
This protocol also includes anti-oxidants and creams.
Please notice that, in some cases, I refer some providers, since they don't use dangerous fillers in their pills, like Magnesium Stearate and Titanium Dioxide...( http://draxe.com/4-dangerous-and-common-vitamin-fillers-you-must-av... )
Btw, folate is better that folic acid, since the latter is a synthetic compound. Natural folates are metabolized to THF (tetrahydrofolate ) in the mucosa of the small intestine, whilst folic acid undergoes initial reduction in the liver.
After lunch seems to be a good time to take pills.
Dr. Ray Strand suggests the following daily dosages :
Folate 400 microgram
B12 125 microgram
Additional suggestion is Merry Clinic (per pill):
Acid Folic 400 microgram
B12 250 microgram
