Greetings,

I eat 1-2 egg whites a day for few months. Am I at risk of developing biotin deficiency? Yours sincerely

Hi Just Chillin from Vannes, Your Dr should have looked at your feet and used a monofilament to test for lose of any sensation or at the very least used either a cotton wool ball or their own finger. The following is a site with pictures of these: http://sydney.edu.au/medicine/diabetes/foot/Fexam1.html

If you do a search for alpha lipoic acid you will find lots of recommendations for it. http://www.diabeteslibrary.org/PrintArticle.aspx?ArticleID=809

When ever you take large doses of any b vitamin it is best to also take a b complex as well. If your not a vegetarian then you could eat liver or take a liver extract as Bill (from the Philippines) has recommended elsewhere on EC. If you are having trouble building up your b's and are taking them in high doses then make sure your supplements don't contain fillers like magnesium sterate, tricalcium phosphates and others as it can lower the absorption. As explained by Ted (who also recomends liver here), you will have to scroll down the page to the general comments: https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements.html


Pantethine vs Pantethinic Acid
Posted by kk (canada) on 02/09/2021

Hello I would like to start taking vitamin B5. I am having a hard time finding anything affordable with a good shipping time that doesn't have any fillers or binders in it.

I have found one brand of Pantothenic acid but it has 45mg of Calcium in it. Will that effect Candida? I know Ted recommends we don't use Calcium when we have Candida.

Also I found pantethine soft gels on for a very good deal.

Is one better than the other in regards to these two supplements? Any help would be appreciated as I can not find much to answer this question.

Is pantethine actual B5? I read that pantothenic acid is converted into pantethine in the body.

Should I just buy pantethine? Im just not sure...

Thank you
