B vitamins - Multi B vitamins work best TOGETHER in tandem to relieve stress & any relevant deficiency. Begin with a LOW dosage of HIGH quality, that is NOT synthetic.

B 1 - Benfotiamine is a relative of the vitamin Thiamine (B1) that appears to have a therapeutic role in pain reduction & diabetic complications (neuropathies & nephropathies); confers bioavailable Vitamin B1 after oral ingestion.

B 3 - As niacinamide or nonflush niacin - B3 is Canadian psychiatrist Abram Hoffer's bottom line for remediating schizophrenia.

B-12 is often prescribed for stress.  Avoid "cyanocobalamin a synthetic form of vitamin B-12, a generic, man-made form. There are 4 types of vitamin B-12 : methylcobalamin (currently one of the better forms), adenosylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, & cyanocobalamin." https://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/vitamin-b-12 7/2019
Also beware of the B-12 synthetic shot (often used on geriatric patients).
Both methylcobalamin and 5-deoxyadenosylcobalamin work as cofactors, meaning substances that assist the function of enzymes. As a cofactor, methylcobalamin may be important in cancer prevention, while 5-deoxyadenosylcobalamin plays a role in energy production & hemoglobin synthesis. These 2 types of B-12 occur naturally in your body. Methylcobalamin is found in animal-based foods & in supplement form, but many B-12 supplements contain synthetic B-12 in the form of cyanocobalamin or hydroxocobalamin. https://healthfully.com/533034-is-methylcobalamin-the-best-form-of-vitamin-b-12.html 7/2019
