Patient discussion about B complex vitamin.

Q. I took vitamin B on an empty stomack and then had coffee. it gave me a terrible Stomach ache. why?

A. hi again! you should take them right after a meal. those pills are vary concentrated and some of the B vitamins are acidic. taking it without eating first will get your stomach protesting ...as you well saw...

Q. When is the best time to take vitamin B complex? I mean- after / before a meal? with what foods? etc.

A. vitamin B complex is acidic, you might want to take it right after meals. i tried taking it on an empty stomach and got a terrible nausea...

Q. How can vegetarians get more B Vitamins in their diet? Are there any recommended foods? I like these green drinks that claim to have B12 and B6, but was wondering if you have any more advice on increasing Vitamin B.

A. if the vegetarian eats dairy products -they also have B-12. you can also find it in raisin bran, eggs (if they eat that as well.
Vitamin B-12 is provided as a supplement in many processed foods, and is also available in vitamin pill form, including multi-vitamins.
