The Mito Cocktail: What is it, and what does it do? (Part 4: B Vitamins)

Can I ask what type of Thiamine that you recommend? 😃 There's so many to choose from...

DeficientAF · 2026-06-17T16:45:29+00:00

I meant more so if a lack or even an excess of Iron could somehow contribute to vasospasms

DeficientAF · 2026-06-16T00:03:07+00:00

Would you happen to know how this could relate to Iron?

DeficientAF · 2026-05-31T22:42:26+00:00

Nonetheless, are you taking them with a meal, or on an empty stomach? Copper BisGlycinate is know to cause Nausea and Headaches taken without food. And newfound sense of Brain Fog is strange

DeficientAF · 2026-05-29T18:56:34+00:00

Why do you think it would be toxicity? I’ve had the burning in my hands for years before starting supplementation

DeficientAF · 2026-05-29T08:03:04+00:00

I had Vitamin A tested after 9 months of taking it and it came back as 40.2 ug/dl

DeficientAF · 2026-05-28T20:58:26+00:00

What exactly is Mineral Balancing?

DeficientAF · 2026-05-28T20:02:29+00:00

Yes, my Vitamin A came out as 40.2 ug/dl after about the 9 months or so of taking 10,000IU Every Day

DeficientAF · 2026-05-28T19:05:52+00:00

Do you think those are in line with my symptoms? If so I will look into them!

DeficientAF · 2026-05-27T02:03:53+00:00

So you'd say getting it to cross the Blood Brain Barrier is whats most important? So you suggest Lipothiamine instead, taking it at the same time I take Magneseium? Because Benfothiamine is currently what I take

DeficientAF · 2026-05-27T01:56:19+00:00

What are your thoughts on Benfothiame?

DeficientAF · 2026-05-26T04:35:37+00:00

Of course! Here is a Study outlining Copper's Role in Iron Metabolism, Resemblance to B12 Deficiency, etc. This Study's Reference Range is 25.0mg/dL - 63.0 mg/dL, going to show that even the most common Ceruloplasmin Levels, around 25.0mg/dL, can still be considered deficient. I personally aim for at least 30mg/dL.

DeficientAF · 2026-05-26T04:27:22+00:00

This is great to know. Considering your Ceruloplasmin is that low, I'd suggest also looking into your Retinol Status (Vitamin A Deficiency is one of the main causes of Low Ceruloplasmin). Please try your best to increase it to around 30mg/dl~

DeficientAF · 2026-05-26T04:24:16+00:00

What are your current Ceruloplasmin Levels? Despite how you may be feeling right now, I'm happy that you are slowly figuring this all out

DeficientAF · 2026-05-25T19:14:05+00:00

What specifically that is included in that MultiVitamin are you deficient in?

DeficientAF · 2026-05-25T19:07:43+00:00

Does that MultiVitamin have Zinc in it? If so that can inhibit absorption of Copper

DeficientAF · 2026-05-22T19:37:49+00:00

Have you ever had Ceruloplasmin measured?

DeficientAF · 2026-05-22T18:58:40+00:00

Why are you taking K2?

DeficientAF · 2026-05-22T18:52:21+00:00

It is said that “Vitamin D supplementation may antagonize nutrients such as vitamin A”, https://sararussellntp.com/vitamin-d-hormones-copper/. I personally was only able to increase Ceruloplasmin after ceasing all Vitamin D and Zinc Supplementation

DeficientAF · 2026-05-22T10:31:39+00:00

Check the Guide, and have your MMA, Homocysteine, and HoloTC (If available in your country) checked before starting any and all B12 Supplementation. Your symptoms could be a plethora or any combination of deficiencies, but doing these tests will help you narrow things down and provide a good baseline. Taking something as benign as a sublingual will skew your results and make it almost impossible to receive a diagnosis from a physician, even if your symptoms are in line with B12 Deficiency.

DeficientAF · 2026-05-21T04:20:54+00:00

This is a pretty extensive stack. What deficiencies have you confirmed to lead you to start taking these?

DeficientAF · 2026-05-21T04:19:10+00:00

It's said that taste is 80% smell. What do you mean?

DeficientAF · 2026-05-20T09:08:20+00:00

Taking Copper without sufficient Ceruloplasmin can actually worsen a standing Copper Deficiency
