Vitamin B 2

Question: I have had 2 miscarriages! How can I find out if I have a vitamin b or progesterone deficiency or possible? out of whack blood sugar level? Any ladies who have had miscarriages & than found out why & then went on to conceive? Thanks for those who have responded! Your experiences give me hope!

Answer: Hi-OK since this one has been sent to me personally-I will give as thorough an answer as I can: Yes progesterone plays a huge role in miscarriage....and in rare cases/a rare condition based on vitamin B deficiency can also cause problems. Let me further explain...1 out of every 5 pregnancies end in miscarriage due to a one time genetic defect in the fetus. It is not necessarily due to your egg being unhealthy or your partner's sperm being unhealthy but ore than likely what occurs when the two are combined to form a fetus. Addressing the progesterone problem: up until 8-9 weeks your body is producing the vital progesterone it takes to support a healthy pregnancy then it shifts to your placenta producing the progesterone. If at this point there is not enough progesterone being produced - your body will miscarry. Supplementation at this point will not help you to prevent the miscarriage Progesterone deficiency (is primarily found in those that have 26-27 day cycles). If you are tested and found to have no progesterone deficiency (or a steadily dropping production rate) after the placenta has taken over-it is no guarantee but miscarriages are less likely to happen due to Progesterone Deficiency. But once the decline starts - miscarriage is inevitable and cannot be prevented. The majority of miscarriages that occur could not have been caused or prevented-due to all the factors that play in to normal development. It takes extensive testing to see a lot of things effecting pregnancies and then a lot of them happen simply because lack of health on the fetus. In regards to Vitamin B deficiency's is a very rare inherited blood disorder caused by the subunit B of Factor XIII-which deals with blood clotting issues and stabilization. You can be tested for both deficiencies if you can health insurance that covers it or have the means to cover the costs. If you discover that it is not either factor: I can recommend one website to you:www.Parents.com concerning articles on how to get in your best pre-pregnancy shape. I also have my all-time favorite book choices (have given it as a gift countless times to my TTC friends). #1) is Beth Kileys, Personal Path To Pregnancy. I consider her to be almost a pro on the subject due to her years of exhausting research that she did in the face of her own fertility issues and the hundreds of testimonies I have read that women have now successfully gone on to have several children after following the means/methods of practice that she suggests (as well as Beth herself now having a couple of children). She talks about everything from preconception factors/influences, nutritional therapies for those TTC, What to do if low sperm count is an issue,alternative treatments to help you conceive faster, which vitamins enable the body to prepare for pregnancy, what to do if you have irregular periods, even a suggested beverage that helps the embryo implant in the uterus....etc. I love her advise because being in my mid 40's now-I have had countless friend from their mid thirties forward have difficulty getting pregnant. All of them had the initial idea to run to a dr. and seek medical intervention in getting pregnant. I told them go have your baseline blood work done-get checked for abnormalities of any kind, BUT before they considered any expensive (and not guaranteed treatments)-first PLEASE read the book that I had given them. I am happy to say that only one of my girlfriends had to go the full route and seek medical intervention via invitro. Beth Kiley's research runs very close in line to what I did on my own as a RN ( who btw - at the time faced fertility issues of my own and very much wanted a child). It didn't happen for me but it became my passion to help anyone else that had a glimmer of hope to conceive...to have the child they so very much wanted. Another viable nutritional suggestion is a book called Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Phyllis A. Balch, CNC. I also recommend it since it is in line with my thinking to try first naturally. It has a plethora of information concerning drug free remedies, vitamin/mineral usage, -as well as herbs and food supplements that can be used when you have fertility (miscarriage) problems. The secondary set of books that I recommend and also give as gifts all the time are for after conception: (SEE positive thinking here-think you will probably need these in awhile) What to Expect When You Are Expecting and What to Eat When You are Expecting. They are two books written by Arlene Eisenberg, Heidi E. Murkhoff and Sandee E. Hathaway, RN. I hope this information has been of some help to you-best of luck in your pursuits and feel free to shoot me a question anytime.

Answer: You can buy a B-Complex at most grocery, drug stores, etc. You don't need a prescription for it and it is relatively inexpensive. I get mine at Costco in bulk and it lasts a long time. Pasta is very rich in vitamin B as well as red meat as long as you don't overcook it.

Question: Vitamin B Deficiency+2 Miscarriages, could this be the one? So, hello everyone. I am very knew to this whole yahoo ask thing. My husband and I have concieved 2 children since this time last year and lost both within 8 weeks of concieving. We went through testing (well I did) and found out that I tested positive with the M.T.H.F.R. test, therefore I have a B Vitamin Deficiancy. Have been taking 4 MG Folic, B12, Prenatal since January. Have NO problem getting pregnant and usually a test shows up pos before missed period. I FEEL pregnant. But I am wondering if my body and mind are playing tricks since I know what if feels like already......LMP May 9th 24-25 day cycle. Next Period is due June 2nd or 3rd. Tested Neg this morning with HPT....but still feel VERY pregnant. Know my body well...can even feel ov. What do ya'll think? Oh and this morning the test was a first response early pregnancy. I had only 6 hours of sleep and took the test around 5:15 am So I woke up this morning with Spotting. Extremely light...Not due for my period til tomorrow or sunday...Dont know what to think.

Answer: Oh, I am so sorry about your miscarriages. Pregnancy really is such a delicate thing that most people don't appreciate how wonderful it is to be able to carry a baby to term. Unfortunately, pregnancy symptoms can be very similar to PMS symptoms, so it's hard to know which is which sometimes. I'm sure your mind is playing tricks on you to some extent. I have not had great experience with testing for pregnancy before my period is due, so it could be that you were just testing too early. Even light spotting is not a deal-breaker because so many women spot early on in pregnancy. I wish I could tell you more than "wait and see", but that's probably the best advice. If I can ask one thing, since your cycles are so short I wonder if you also have any problems with a short luteal phase. The time after ovulation until your next period starts should be at least 12-14 days long so that the new baby has time to implant in the uterus and start signalling the body that there is a pregnancy there and to not start a new period. Since you know pretty well when you are ovulating, if you are not able to get 12-14 days after ovulation until your next cycle you might look and see if your progesterone is low in that part of the cycle, it's something easy to supplement if there is a problem. Your doctor probably looked into that, but I thought I'd throw that in there just in case. Good luck & lots of "sticky" vibes to you for your next pregnancy!!!

Question: took vitamin b complex for 4 days now have period (2 weeks early)? I took vitamin B complex 4 days ago bc I heard it helps with cramps and it overall will give you energy and helps break down food (so i thought it would be good with losing weight) I took the pill about 8am and I took 1 a day...maybe the 3rd day I noticed I was spotting...and this is strange b/c that means my period came 2 weeks early which is not usual (usually i am pretty regular 28 days give or take)...why is this? Another thing is that at night I cant sleep. I have too much energy..The main reason why I am taking the B complex is b/c I wanted a natural way of helping me with my bad cramps when I get my period and I read Vit B can help with that., but it this is normal side effect spotting early?

Answer: No, this is not a normal side effect. I have never heard of vit B making your period come early or any form of spotting at all. Is there any chance your are pregnant and this is implementation bleeding? There is something going on beyond the vit B. I suggest giving a call to your doctor.

Question: What does the vitamin B-2 do? I've been thinking about taking some kind of weight loss aid and i heard good things about b-2(riboflavin). My question is what exactly is it? What does it do? Are their side effects? How will i know its working?

Answer: Riboflavin (E101), also known as vitamin B2, is an easily absorbed micronutrient with a key role in maintaining health in humans and animals. It is the central component of the cofactors FAD and FMN, and is therefore required by all flavoproteins. As such, vitamin B2 is required for a wide variety of cellular processes. Like the other B vitamins, it plays a key role in energy metabolism, and is required for the metabolism of fats, ketone bodies, carbohydrates, and proteins. Milk, cheese, leafy green vegetables, liver, kidneys, legumes such as mature soybeans,[1] yeast, and almonds[citation needed] are good sources of vitamin B2, but exposure to light destroys riboflavin. The name "riboflavin" comes from "ribose" and "flavin". Riboflavin is not toxic when taken orally, as its low solubility keeps it from being absorbed in dangerous amounts from the gut [2]. Although toxic doses can be administered by injection[2], any excess at nutritionally relevant doses is excreted in the urine[3], imparting a bright yellow color when in large quantities. In human, there is no evidence for riboflavin toxicity produced by excessive intakes. Even when 400 mg/d of riboflavin was given orally to subjects in one study for three months to investigate the efficacy of riboflavin in the prevention of migraine headache, no short-term side effects were reported [4]. [5]. Riboflavin is yellow or yellow-orange in color and in addition to being used as a food coloring, it is also used to fortify some foods. It is used in baby foods, breakfast cereals, pastas, sauces, processed cheese, fruit drinks, vitamin-enriched milk products, some energy drinks. Regarding occurrence and sources of vitamin B2, Yeast extract is considered to be exceptionally rich in vitamin B2, and liver and kidney are also rich sources. Wheat bran, eggs, meat, milk, and cheese are important sources in diets containing these foods. Cereals grains contain relatively low concentrations of flavins, but are important sources in those parts of the world where cereals constitute the staple diet.[7].[8]. The milling of cereals results in considerable loss (up to 60%) of vitamin B2, so white flour is enriched by addition of the vitamin. The enrichment of bread and ready-to-eat breakfast cereals contributes significantly to the dietary supply of vitamin B2. Polished rice is not usually enriched, because the vitamin’s yellow color would make the rice visually unacceptable to the major rice-consumption populations. However, most of the flavins content of the whole brown rice is retained if the rice is steamed prior to milling. This process drives the flavins in the germ and aleurone layers into the endosperm. Free riboflavin is naturally present in foods along with protein-bound FMN and FAD. Bovine milk contains mainly free riboflavin, with a minor contribution from FMN and FAD.[9]. In whole milk, 14% of the flavins are bound noncovalently to specific proteins. [10]Egg white and egg yolk contain specialized riboflavin-binding proteins, which are required for storage of free riboflavin in the egg for use by the developing embryo. It is difficult to incorporate riboflavin into many liquid products because it has poor solubility in water. Hence the requirement for riboflavin-5'-phosphate (E101a), a more expensive but more soluble form of riboflavin. Stability Riboflavin is generally stable during the heat processing and normal cooking of foods if light is excluded. The alkaline conditions in which riboflavin is unstable are rarely encountered in foodstuffs. Riboflavin degradation in milk can occur slowly in dark during storage in the refrigerator.[11] (7). The latest (1998) RDA recommendation for vitamin B2 are similar to the 1989 RDA, which for adults, suggested a minimum intake of 1.2 mg for persons whose caloric intake may be > 2,000 Kcal.[12]. The current RDAs for Riboflavin for adult men and women are 1.3 mg/day and 1.1 mg/day, respectively; the estimated average requirement for adult men and women are 1.1 mg and 0.9 mg, respectively. Recommendations for daily riboflavin intake increase with pregnancy and lactation to 1.4 mg and 1.6 mg, respectively (1in advanced). For infants the RDA is 0.3-0.4 mg/day and for children it is 0.6-0.9 mg/day.[13].Riboflavin is continuously excreted in the urine of healthy individuals[1], making deficiency relatively common when dietary intake is insufficient. However, riboflavin deficiency is always accompanied by deficiency of other vitamins[1]. A deficiency of riboflavin can be primary - poor vitamin sources in one's daily diet - or secondary, which may be a result of conditions that affect absorption in the intestine, the body not being able to use the vitamin, or an increase in the excretion of the vitamin from the body. In humans, signs and symptoms of riboflavin deficiency (ariboflavinosis) include cracked and red lips, inflammation of the lining of mouth and tongue, mouth ulcers, cracks at the corners of

Question: I have been taking vitamin B complex and calcium magnesium tabs:my bra size has grown 2 inches. Is this linked My breasts feel tender but I'm definitely not pregnant. I feel much more curvaceous up top, this is a surprise for me, and I'm wondering if taking these supplements can affect the hormones and cause this? 32C => 34C

Answer: If ur bra increased from 32C to 34C,, this indicates that ur overall body (or chest area in particular) has increased by 2inch. It could mean that u've gained weight.. which contributed to the increase in bust size.. But if ur bra grew to 32D,, then that is definitely a growth that occured in your bust.. There are other factors that may increase the bust size, such as contraceptive pills and food rich in elements that trigger/effect hormones, such as soy bean.

Question: What are the effects of a Vitamin B overdose? im taking vitmain B pills + multi vitamins for 2 weeks on doctor advice for hairloss etc. i have just found out i am taking 10 X daily recomended amount what is the effect of this ? is it dangerous?

Answer: If your doctor has directed you to take this medication, remember that he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects, just bright greenish yellow pee!! Symptoms of overdose may include: stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and the shakes. As a previous posting states as the B vit's are water soluble it is unusual to OD unless you are on a bottle a day, again as they are water soluble the body will quickly excrete excess without long term damage.

Question: I'm trying to grow my hair out. Ive been taking prenatal pills and vitamin B how long til I see results? Ive been taking prenatal pills and vitamin b for 2 weeks going on 3. I have kept my hair up to avoid damage..I trimmed a lot of my split ends and I grease my scalp regularly. How long will it take to see results? and how noticeable will it be?

Answer: The only thing those vitamins and pills will do is strengthen your hair. So I hope that's what outcome you want. Because if it's trying to grow your hair faster there isn't such a way, just to make it healthier. I'm assuming you want your hair to grow faster since you mentioned trimming your hair. Just so you know trimming doesn't promote hair growth since your hair grows from the root and cutting off split ends are.. at the ends. Trimming is good nonetheless but it doesn't make your hair grow. Such a myth. Just eat healthy and keep up with your pills and your hair will be healthier.

Question: Is Vitamin B-2 a compound, element, or mixture?

Answer: Honey I would like to give you one concept and you won't ever ask anyone these differences... Element is any single substance... Like you see all the elements like Hydrogen, carbon, etc. Compound is a substance made of 2 elements or more. Mixture is a substance made of different types of elements or compounds in a proper ratio. So here we're talking of vitamins... They are basically compounds made up of different elements. Just remember with these is what are vitamins? They are basically the part of essential nutrients that our body needs and in return what are nutrients? Nutrients are different elements... So vitamins are compounds. Hope this made all your concepts clear with not just vitamins but also with other differences. Happy studying!
