I take Vitamin B12 in the form of Methylcobalamin (5 mg), and Vitamin B6 (250 mg). I also take 1,000 mcg of folic acid (folate)as part of a Vitamin B complex. They will all work more effectively when taken with B complex.
Here are some things I've done to reduce some of the burden on my immune system. I use vinegar instead of dryer sheets or fabric softener, and borax instead of, or supplementing, laundry detergent.
I buy a beautiful all-natural face and body soap that is made locally instead of the commercial brands.
There are less chemical - ridden deodorants available, a google search could be interesting. You can try using straight baking soda under your arms, or mixing it with coconut oil first. I find it a bit harsh on my skin personally, but it absolutely keeps you dry, and no aluminum or other harmful ingredients.
For hair, cider vinegar can replace cream rinse, and olive oil or coconut oil keep hair from being dried out, thus no need for conditionner.
Baking soda, or baking soda mixed with coconut oil makes a good toothpaste, with, again, no chemicals. I figure each of these things are worth doing if they might make any difference for me.
