My doctor called today......
Are your other B vitamins low, too? If not, why take a B complex instead of just take thiamine (B1)?
I started out taking a B complex, but quit after a few months since all my B vite levels were good. But I took it in pill form.

I understood that you were taking the B complex. A B complex usually has B1, B2, B3, B6, biotin, and B9 in it. I was wondering why you're taking the B2, B3, B6, biotin and B9 if your levels of those things are all OK.

I thought I didn't say it right the first time. :)
You can buy a supplement that is just B1. Taking extra of the others shouldn't hurt you since they are water soluble vitamins; you should just pee out all the extras. But it seems kind of like a waste.
